Market Overview

The market for mobile substations in the UK is the area of the power distribution sector devoted to emergency or temporary use of portable, self-contained electrical substations. These devices, which are usually installed on trucks or containers, can be quickly moved to areas that are experiencing outages or lack permanent infrastructure. A mobile substation is a standalone, transportable device that provides electrical power distribution to areas without permanent substations or that are temporarily without power. After distributing power to end users and ensuring operational safety, these substations reduce high voltage. At the chosen location, they can then be connected to a local power source. They can manage a variety of voltage levels and, by integrating sophisticated protective mechanisms, offer a broad range of power distribution capabilities. Mobile substations may be quickly deployed and moved when needed. They are used in emergencies, on building sites, and as a temporary power source while repairs or maintenance are being done.
