How Can We Help?

Power Support for Education - Reliable Backup Solutions That Keep Learning On Track

When the power goes out, education doesn’t stop. From universities to primary schools, every site needs a plan to keep students, staff and systems moving. At Pleavin Power, we work with education providers across the UK to help protect their operations with dependable backup power. Explore how we support the sector and keep things running, whatever the challenge.

Power Challenges in the Education Sector

Power loss in education settings creates more than just short-term disruption. It can cut off access to digital resources, damage sensitive equipment and affect critical infrastructure like lighting, heating and security. With a growing reliance on tech in classrooms, downtime means more lost time for teachers and students alike.

Schools and universities also manage a broad mix of buildings and systems. From libraries and labs to IT suites and admin offices, one outage can impact multiple users and departments. Timetables are tight, and many sites run extended hours for evening classes or study sessions. That makes reliability even more important, especially where assessments or research are involved.

Generators for Schools and Universities

Generators are essential in keeping operations stable. Education sites can’t afford to be without power, especially when so much depends on digital systems, attendance registers and safety procedures. We supply and install backup generators for schools and universities tailored to your site’s size and needs, with both permanent and temporary setups available.

Our generator hire service is ideal for planned works, events or cover during repairs. For long-term peace of mind, we also offer generator servicing to keep things running as they should. It’s all designed to take pressure off your internal teams and help avoid costly downtime.

UPS Systems For Protection for Short Dropouts and Spikes

An uninterrupted power supply (UPS) offers a clean handover between the grid and your generator, which is key when dealing with sensitive equipment. In education, this includes anything from lab tech and servers to security systems and CCTV.

Our team can help you select and install the right UPS setup for your environment. We also handle ongoing servicing and emergency repairs, so you’ve got backup from day one through to year 10 and beyond. This makes it easier to safeguard your investment in IT and avoid interruptions that affect learning or safety.

Emergency Power Supply for Support When You Need It Most

When the unexpected hits, you need quick access to power. Our emergency power supply service is designed to get you back up fast. Whether it’s a fault, weather event or local grid issue, we respond quickly to keep key services going.

For education, that can mean restoring heating and lighting in a winter outage or keeping network systems online during exams. We’re used to working with complex buildings and tight timeframes, so we’ll get a solution in place with as little disruption as possible, whether you’re looking for generators for universities or other educational facilities.

Contingency Planning for Education

Having a power plan in place gives you more than just peace of mind, it can help avoid stress when an outage hits and keep your site compliant with health and safety regulations. Our contingency planning services are tailored to schools, colleges and universities, no matter their size.

We’ll assess your current setup, identify any gaps and recommend practical steps that don’t stretch your budget. That might mean backup power for specific buildings, better system alerts or improved response times. It’s about giving your team the tools to act fast and keep disruption to a minimum.

Remote Monitoring To Keep Ahead of Problems

Managing power systems across a large site can be time-consuming. With our generator remote monitoring service, you get real-time updates and alerts straight to your team. This helps catch small faults before they become bigger problems and keeps systems running efficiently.

For education providers, this means better visibility and less manual checking. Our system monitors fuel levels, battery status, run hours and more. So whether your generator is tucked behind a sports hall or on a rooftop, you’ll know exactly what’s going on and can act quickly if needed.
