Aggreko, the provider of mobile modular power, temperature control, and energy services, has won two industry awards in recent days in recognition of its innovative approach to providing bespoke power solutions across the world.
The first was an Argus LPG Award for Excellence in the New Frontier category in recognition of its delivery of a utility-scale power solution for the Virgin Island of St Croix.
Gas generators
In 2018, Aggreko signed a three-year contract with Virgin Island Water and Power Authority (VIWAPA) following the failure of the mechanical power generator on the island of St Croix. Since then, Aggreko has delivered 20 MW of flexible, reliable power using efficient gas generators, powered by Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG).
The energy solution is comprised of 1.2 MW power modules to maximize system reliability, efficiency and flexibility while providing power to approximately 26,000 residential and business customers across the island. By 2020, the power solution implemented by Aggreko is projected to save St Croix $6 million in the first two years of the contract.

Judges considered Aggreko’s partnership with VIWAPA to deliver an innovative and flexible power solution
In naming Aggreko as the winner of the New Frontier award, Argus’ judges considered Aggreko’s partnership with VIWAPA to deliver an innovative and flexible power solution. Together, Aggreko and VIWAPA overcame several hurdles in the delivery of the project, such as the huge variations in demand for power and the remote location of the island.
Pablo Varela, Managing Director, Aggreko Latin America, said “We are honored to have won an Argus LPG Award for Excellence in the New Frontier category for our work on St Croix. I’m immensely proud of the team for delivering such an innovative solution in challenging circumstances. We’re thrilled that the wider industry has recognized the project."
