Do I need planning permission for a standby power generator?
Standby Diesel generators, especially those in inner-city or urban areas, can often require planning permission. With stricter guidelines around air quality and environmental health, planning for generators is a complex topic.
Requirements vary regionally, but the guidance below will help you find local contacts and answer some common questions to find out how standby generator planning impacts your project requirements.
Protecting your Residents during a Power Cut
A look at modern Standby Power Solutions
Unacceptable Care
You are the manager of a care home and it is a cold, Winter night. Suddenly the lights flicker and within seconds the whole building is plunged into darkness. Without mains power you have no lifts, no lights, no heating, no hot water, no kitchens, no kettles, no laundry…the list just goes on! More importantly your residents will be dark, cold, unsafe and confused.
Do you have any idea for how long?
Keep your generator in tip top condition
All standby generators should have an annual service contract, which includes a guaranteed rapid response in the event of an emergency as provided by companies such as shentongroup. However as the saying goes ‘prevention is better than cure’ and by undertaking some simple checks the end user can go a long way to ensuring that when required, your standby generator will perform ‘first time, every time’. In this article we will look at some of the more common causes of generator failure and the simple checks that can be made to improve reliability.
