MEMS Case Studies
Data Centre Temporary Power
To prevent unplanned downtime and avoid risk to SLA obligations, the operator brought in MEMS Power Generation to deliver a fully managed Data Centre Temporary Power solution, including generator hire, fuel oversight, and remote monitoring.
Automotive Power Resilience
When a transformer fire caused a major outage, a leading global automotive supplier turned to MEMS for emergency power for a rapid and effective solution. Within hours, MEMS deployed high-capacity generators to restore power, ensuring minimal disruption and enabling the client to continue operations seamlessly.
Hospital Standby Power
A backup failure at one of the UK’s leading independent healthcare providers required an immediate resolution. A power outage in a hospital environment can be devastating.
