Reliable backup power is essential across the utilities and renewables sector to ensure uninterrupted service delivery and grid stability. Whether you're operating a wind farm, photovoltaic (PV) site, hydroelectric facility, or managing water treatment and distribution systems, power continuity is critical to maintain operations, protect assets, and meet regulatory obligations.
We support Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) and Independent Network Operators (IDNOs) by safeguarding the substation network and grid infrastructure with robust UPS systems and generator solutions. From IP54-rated Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems and severe environment UPS to Generators, our backup power solutions are designed to keep essential services running.
Backup power for treatment works, pumping stations, reservoirs and remote telemetry outstations – keeping SCADA, pumps, actuators and monitoring equipment running, or shutting them down safely, when the mains fails. We work with water companies directly and with the electrical contractors and frameworks that deliver their capital programmes. Case Study: UPS Installation for a UK Water Treatment Works
Secure AC and DC power for substations and grid infrastructure, supporting protection, control, communications and SCADA systems that keep the network safe and visible.
Auxiliary and backup power for control systems, communications and site safety on renewable generation sites, plus battery energy storage to capture surplus generation and use it when it's most valuable.

Case Study
Our client, electrical contractors, required backup power at their customer’s water and wastewater site based in the North West of England. It was necessary to keep essential equipment, including their SCADA control system, pumping system and actuators, supplied with enough power to close equipment down safely during a power outage. The backup power solution had to be accessible and easy to maintain.
Dale provided UPS solutions which conformed to the Water Industry Mechanical and Electrical Specification (WIMES) standard
1 x 10kVA single phase E200 unit in an IP54 enclosure with 2 x battery packs providing 23 minutes autonomy
2 x 20kVA, 3 phase E700 units in IP54 enclosures. Batteries provided 20 minutes autonomy on 6 separate pull out shelves which were easy to access and maintain. The enclosure was designed to take up to 160kVA UPS
All units were powder coated to a specified British Standard colour code
The enclosures were designed to hold heavy UPS systems
The UPS modules were on wheels which allowed them to be easily accessed for future maintenance
Each enclosure had a viewing window built in the door so the UPS panel could be read without opening the enclosure door
Each IP54 cabinet had a fan and ventilation to dissipate heat
