Aggreko, the provider of portable modular power, temperature control, and energy services, is set to power the 2020 Aberdeen Standard Investments Ladies Scottish Open, which tees off at The Renaissance Club in North Berwick.
Supplementary power
Aggreko will be providing supplementary power to the three-day event, which sees 156 players compete for a share of the $1.5 million prize fund.
The services that Aggreko provides will support the smooth running of the event, powering critical services including the broadcast compound, which will beam the event to fans around the world who cannot attend the event in person due to coronavirus-related restrictions.
Hybrid power solutions
Aggreko provided a hybrid power solution that integrated solar panels into the event’s power mix
The tournament, which is part of both the Ladies European Tour and the LPGA, marks the return of professional women’s golf to Scotland for the first time since Europe’s remarkable triumph in the 2019 Solheim Cup last September, at which Aggreko provided a hybrid power solution which integrated solar panels into the event’s power mix for the first time in its history.
It also comes ahead of the AIG Women’s Open on 20-23rd August, which is taking place at The Royal Troon Golf Club in Troon, Scotland. Aggreko will provide critical power solutions to power the broadcast compound, Championship office, and on-course screens at the event, among other facilities.
Generators
At both events, Aggreko will be deploying its rental equipment, including generators, distribution boards, and cables, all backed up by the expertise of the Aggreko Events Services team.
The company's solutions at the events are designed to integrate seamlessly with existing mains power provision to the golf clubs and will be focused on efficiency, with the Aggreko Events Services team managing systems that include synchronized generators that cycle on and off as power demand fluctuates, to provide optimal power supply constantly.
The smooth running of the event
Aggreko's is critical in making these events run smoothly, and the facilities allow us to perform to our best"
Six-time winner in the Ladies European Tour and Aggreko ambassador Mel Reid will be competing in the AIG Women’s Open as she seeks to add to her winning record. Reid was vice-captain on the European team that emerged victorious at last year’s Solheim Cup.
Reid said, “I’m so excited to get back on the links this summer and can’t wait for my season to restart at the AIG Women’s Open in a week. Aggreko's work is critical in making these events run smoothly, and the facilities they power allow us to perform to our best. And of course, Aggreko’s help is vital to the broadcasters that will allow fans worldwide to view these closed-door events.”
Supporting the events
Robert Wells, Managing Director of Aggreko Events Services, said, “It’s great to see women’s professional golf returning to Scotland’s courses. At Aggreko, we’re proud to be doing our bit to support these events for the players and fans at home.”
“Our team will be working around the clock to ensure that these events have the power they need, and I’m grateful to them for all they do.”
