The Road to Net Zero at Pleavin Power
At Pleavin Power, we fully support the global drive toward net zero emissions and are excited about the opportunities that cleaner energy technologies will bring.
However, achieving a sustainable future is a complex, long-term journey, and it’s important to
recognise that the energy grid and infrastructure aren’t quite ready for a seamless
transition.
While progress is being made, particularly in renewable energy, there’s still work to be done to ensure these solutions can provide the reliability that critical sectors—such as the Ministry of Justice (MOJ), Police, NHS, and data centres—depend on.
We’re committed to staying ahead of the curve, embracing new technologies as they
mature, while ensuring our clients always have the reliable backup power they need. The
current infrastructure simply cannot yet guarantee the level of reliability these sectors
require when it comes to renewable or lower-emission power sources. The road to net zero is a long-term process, and our priority is to ensure that our clients continue to have access to the reliable backup power they need.
A Commitment to Reliability and Sustainability
Our diesel generators provide a critical and reliable backup power source for essential sectors such as the Ministry of Justice (MOJ), Police, NHS, and data centres. We know that for these sectors, reliability is paramount—especially when the power supply is crucial to operations that directly impact public safety, health, and data integrity.
While Stage V engines offer the promise of lower emissions, we have not yet adopted them because we believe that the current models do not yet meet the high reliability standards required by our clients – something we are not prepared to sacrifice.
However, this does not mean we are standing still. We are fully aware of the technological advancements in the generator industry and are constantly monitoring developments to ensure we remain ready to adopt the best solutions when they meet both environmental and operational needs.
Our Approach to Net Zero
We believe that the road to net zero will require careful balance: maintaining the highest levels of operational reliability for our clients, while also embracing technologies that reduce environmental impact.
Here’s how we’re contributing:
- Continuous Evaluation of Emerging Technologies: We are committed to adapting our product range as soon as advanced, low-emission, and reliable solutions become available. This includes monitoring the progress of Stage V generators and other sustainable technologies, like hybrid or fully renewable energy solutions.
- Supporting Innovation: We actively engage with generator manufacturers to ensure that we are always informed about the latest technological developments. Our goal is to introduce new solutions as soon as they prove their effectiveness in providing both sustainability and reliability whilst being a cost-effective solution for
our customers. - Tailored Solutions for Your Transition: Many of our clients are already on their own journey to reduce carbon emissions. We work closely with them to provide diesel generator systems that are part of a larger energy strategy, which might include solar, wind, or other renewable power sources. We will always source Stage V generators or fuels such as HVO for our clients upon request to meet their needs.
Ready for the future
While diesel generators currently remain the most reliable option for many industries, Pleavin Power is fully committed to supporting the transition to greener technologies. We are prepared to evolve as the market and technology mature, and we will ensure that our clients are equipped with the best tools to achieve their own sustainability goals without
compromising on reliability.
Our promise is to remain adaptable, responsible, and always aligned with both environmental sustainability and our clients’ need for dependable power.
