Temporary Power Across Hampshire
Hampshire is one of England’s most diverse counties, stretching from the urban centres of Southampton and Portsmouth through to the ancient woodland of the New Forest and the rolling countryside of the Test Valley. That diversity is reflected in the range of temporary power requirements we encounter here, and it is a county where Templant’s breadth of experience and fleet capability is regularly put to good use.
We provide generator hire throughout Hampshire, available around the clock and year-round, whether you are planning months ahead or need a generator on site as soon as possible. Our team takes time to understand what your project actually needs before recommending anything, and our in-house transport fleet means we control the logistics from start to finish.
Generators for Every Scale of Project in Hampshire
Hampshire’s mix of large urban infrastructure, coastal industry, rural estates, and major outdoor events demands a hire fleet that can genuinely cover the full range. Ours does exactly that, running from 20kVA units for smaller single phase applications right through to 1250kVA generators for major commercial or industrial requirements.
Towable generators work well on sites where access is restricted or where the power requirement is more modest, whilst static generators are ideal for fixed, longer-term installations and are delivered and positioned using our own HIAB-equipped vehicles. For projects where a single generator cannot meet the full load, we are able to run multiple units in synchronisation to deliver whatever combined output your site demands.
All generators in our fleet leave our depot fully inspected, tested, and fitted with bunded internal fuel tanks that meet current environmental and safety regulations.
Who Uses Generator Hire in Hampshire
Hampshire’s economy spans a wide range of sectors, many of which rely on temporary power at different points throughout the year. We work regularly with:
- Outdoor events and festivals. Hampshire has a thriving events calendar, and many venues require off-grid or supplementary power to function safely and effectively
- Construction and civil engineering projects across Southampton, Portsmouth, Basingstoke, Winchester, and the surrounding areas
- Agricultural and rural businesses, particularly across the New Forest and Test Valley, where mains supply is often limited
- Healthcare facilities and care settings requiring guaranteed continuity of power
- Hospitality and catering operations at marquee events, rural venues, and temporary structures
- Commercial properties and businesses requiring standby or emergency backup power
Whatever your sector, our approach is always the same: understand the requirement properly, recommend the right solution, and deliver it on time and to the standard you need.
Emergency Generator Hire in Hampshire
Hampshire’s coastal position and its exposure to Atlantic weather systems mean that severe weather events are a genuine and recurring risk. Storms can bring down power lines, flood substations, and leave businesses and communities without electricity at precisely the moment they most need it. When this happens, the speed of the response to restore power matters enormously.
Templant’s emergency generator hire service operates every hour of every day. We do not rely on third-party transport companies, which means there is no delay caused by external logistics when you need us most. Our on-call engineers are experienced in emergency deployments and will assess your requirements, confirm the right equipment, and get it to your Hampshire site as quickly as possible.
For businesses in sectors where a power interruption is particularly costly (food production, cold storage, IT-dependent services, and healthcare among them) we can also help you establish a contingency plan so that the response to a future outage is already agreed and in place before it happens.
Supporting Hampshire’s Events Industry
Hampshire has a rich outdoor events calendar, from large music and food festivals through to agricultural shows, private estate gatherings, and corporate hospitality. Many of these events take place at venues with no fixed power infrastructure, or where the existing supply is simply not sufficient to meet the load placed on it by temporary structures, catering, staging, and lighting.
Templant provides generator hire specifically suited to event environments, including silent units for settings where noise is a consideration. Alongside the generators themselves, we supply electrical distribution panels, temporary cabling, and the full range of connectors and accessories needed to power your event safely from a single, managed source.
A Complete Package from a Single Supplier
Coordinating multiple suppliers for a temporary power setup adds complexity, risk, and cost to any project. Templant removes that burden by supplying not just the generator, but the full suite of distribution equipment needed to put the power where it is needed. Distribution panels, single and three phase cables, and external bunded fuel tanks are all available as part of a complete hire package.
We have held ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications for quality and environmental management throughout our growth as a business, and we have recently added ISO 45001 for occupational health and safety. Our memberships with Achilles, Avetta, and Constructionline underpin our standing as a trusted supplier across the major procurement frameworks used in construction and public sector contracting.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you supply a generator for an outdoor event in a rural Hampshire location?
Yes. We regularly support outdoor events in rural settings across Hampshire, including the New Forest and the wider Test Valley. Our towable generators are well suited to sites with access restrictions, and we can provide the full distribution setup to power your event safely and efficiently.
How do you handle emergency power needs during severe weather in Hampshire?
Our emergency line operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We manage our own transport fleet, so we are not waiting on external logistics when time matters. Our engineers will assess your requirements on the call and confirm the earliest possible arrival time at your Hampshire site.
Do you supply generators for construction sites in Southampton or Portsmouth?
Yes. Construction site power is one of our most frequently requested applications. We supply generators in a range of capacities suited to both the early groundwork stages and more power-intensive fit-out phases, along with the distribution equipment needed to supply power safely across the site.
Can I hire a generator for a long-term project in Hampshire?
Absolutely. We hire on a minimum one-week basis and then daily thereafter, which gives you a flexible and cost-effective option for longer projects. We provide 24/7 monitoring and technical support throughout, and can arrange regular servicing as part of a longer-term agreement.
