In Review
DTGen has expanded its critical power operations in Ireland after acquiring generator maintenance specialist Realpower.
Based in Moydrum, County Westmeath, Realpower provides preventative maintenance, inspections, load-bank testing and emergency repairs for standby generators.
The acquisition brings Realpower's established Irish servicing operation into DTGen's wider business, which designs, installs, commissions and maintains standby power systems across the UK and Ireland.
For facilities that rely on backup generation, including hospitals and data centres, regular servicing and load-bank testing can help identify faults before a generator is needed during a power outage.
The combined business now employs more than 110 people, including 70 engineers, with operations spanning Glasgow, Bristol, Northampton and Ireland. It also expects to create at least 10 additional jobs as it looks to expand its operations post-acquisition.
Farrell Spollen has been appointed Managing Director of Ireland to oversee the company's continued expansion in the market.
