How Much Does Temporary Construction Power Cost?

Temporary construction power costs typically range from £100 to £300 per week. This cost is influenced by the type and capacity of the generator required for your project.

Smaller sites may need less powerful generators, such as those with a capacity of 10 to 20 kVA, whereas large construction projects might require more robust machinery, such as 100 kVA or higher, to handle heavy-duty equipment.

Prices also vary based on the rental duration and additional accessories such as cables and fuel management systems. For projects lasting longer than one month, we often provide discounted rates.

Compliance with local safety regulations, like the BS 7671 standards for electrical installations, is also a factor that could impact costs. Accessories like distribution boards and transformers to ensure a stable power supply could also affect the overall price.
