James Eade, head of energy at Birmingham 2022, claims Aggreko is an "ideal partner" to deliver a "safe and sustainable" Games.

All 14 of the competition venues for Birmingham 2022, scheduled to run from July 28 to August 8 next year, are set to be powered by Aggreko, a global leader in mobile and modular energy solutions.

Aggreko is also poised to launch of a number of community projects aimed at improving opportunities and skills for those living and working in the area.

Birmingham 2022 said Aggreko’s support will include running educational events on sustainability, enhancing understanding of sustainable technology and the energy transition as well as nurturing science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) skills in local schools and not for profit organisations.

These events are expected to run before, during and after the Games, with the first set offering school children the chance of winning tickets for Birmingham 2022.

"Aggreko are well-known for their experience in temporary power solutions and they have an enviable pedigree when it comes to multi-games events; they are the ideal partner to help deliver a safe and sustainable Games," said Eade.

"In selecting a delivery partner, we saw that Aggreko’s low-carbon corporate roadmap dovetails neatly with our pioneering zero-carbon games initiative.

"We are looking forward to using some of Aggreko’s new power generation and storage technologies as well as developing innovative approaches to powering the Games, whilst still maintaining the highest levels of reliability.

"In addition to their work on competition venues, Aggreko are committed to working with us on our community engagement activities, in particular focusing on nurturing STEM skills within the local community.

"It is really important that we use exciting and engaging opportunities such as the Games to foster new talent in STEM subjects for the future benefit of our environment and well-being."
