Today at Think Hire, we held a Halloween bake sale for our charity partner, Maggie's Centres.

The team brought in bloody good biscuits. And brownies. And cookies. And cakes. By the end of the day, we were all feeling a little closer to Cookie Monster, which seems perfectly reasonable during Halloween week.

Huge thanks to everyone who got involved and donated. Every treat sold helped support Maggie's cause.

However, the fundraising doesn't stop here.
Our very own Matt Fishwick and Chris Brown will take on the Manchester Marathon in April 2027 to support Maggie's.

If you would like to sponsor Matt and Chris, follow the links:

Maggie's centres are warm, welcoming places, with qualified professionals on hand to offer an evidence-based support programme. Free to anyone living with cancer and their families, at centres across the UK. Just come in.

It's a cause that matters, and we're glad to keep playing our part.

Storm weather is hitting the UK.

About 90,000 customers were still without power this morning after Storms Austen and Boelo, according to the Energy Networks Association.

More yellow wind warnings are in place for tonight and tomorrow.

From landslides and flooding to road and rail repairs, our units provide temporary power for emergency works. While repairs are underway, we can mobilise from depots across the UK to support energy providers and emergency crews.

Our off-grid energy infrastructure is built to keep running through bad weather, so projects stay powered when the grid doesn't. Robust shells, independent battery modules, and corrosion resistance make our solar hybrids and BESS reliable.

Think Energy Panorama adds peace of mind with 24/7 monitoring and proactive asset management, meaning 92% fewer callouts and fewer engineers on the road in high winds.

We're ready whatever the forecast brings.

Building a solar farm is already a step towards a cleaner future. But what about the off-grid energy used to build it?

Renewable projects shouldn't have to rely on diesel-heavy temporary power while they build the infrastructure meant to reduce emissions.

Think Hire helps developers make every stage of a renewable project as green as the asset itself.
We use BESS, solar generation and advanced energy management to energise construction compounds with lower fuel use and lower emissions.

From site setup and welfare to security, lighting and daily operations, clean temporary power cuts reliance on conventional generators and still gives construction teams the reliable energy they need.

Net zero covers the whole project lifecycle, including the construction, deployment and ongoing operations.

A renewable project should be green from day one, rather than only once it's switched on.

See how it worked on a UK solar farm build powered by our SiteGrid X200 BESS:

A big moment for us.

Think Hire, a division of Think Energy Group, has been named Technology Provider of the Year at the inaugural .net Energy & Tech Awards.

The edie Energy & Tech Awards bring together the organisations, technologies and people accelerating the UK's journey to a more sustainable, resilient and low-carbon future.

The award recognises the technology that sits behind our growing sustainable energy fleet. Over the last three years, the proportion of issues resolved remotely across our fleet has increased from 75% to 92%, reducing downtime, engineer callouts and site disruption.

At the heart of that achievement is Think Energy Panorama, powered by Galooli and enhanced by our own proprietary automations and energy-management intelligence. Panorama uses machine learning to predict faults before they become problems, resolve many issues remotely, and optimise energy usage across every connected asset.

This is the solution behind our sustainable energy fleet, making low-carbon off-grid power possible in some of the most demanding environments, all connected to one digital ecosystem through Think Energy Panorama.

Together, these technologies are helping to decarbonise construction sites, rail infrastructure projects, highway works, utilities, renewable energy developments, industrial sites, and temporary power applications across the UK.

What made the evening particularly special was being in a room full of people driving the UK's energy transition forward. Innovators, pioneers and industry leaders all working towards the same goal: accelerating the move to a lower-carbon future.
It is an honour to be recognised alongside them.

This award belongs to our team, our customers, and every organisation choosing cleaner, smarter ways to power their projects.

Thank you to the edie judges and organisers, to Galooli, our technology partner, and to everyone we had the pleasure of meeting in London on Friday.

From final sign-off to customer deployment.

Our new Solartainer Versatile XL+ is on its way to site, accompanied by our solar-powered tool charging station.

Together, they deliver reliable off-grid power and secure tool charging with no mains connection required and minimised diesel consumption.

Designed for off-grid sites, the Solartainer XL+ can replace a diesel generator up to 125kVA, with lower fuel consumption, reduced emissions, and significantly less on-site noise.

Complementing the XL+ is our Solar Charging Station, providing safe, secure charging for up to 40 tools. Each locker is individually lockable and includes remote temperature monitoring, fault-triggered shutdown, audible and visual fire alarms, and lithium-battery fire suppression.

This is an example of the sustainable off-grid energy infrastructure we offer, where every element works in the most eco-conscious way.

To talk about one for your site, email [email protected] or call 0330 133 2222.

Meet the latest addition to the Solartainer Versatile range: the new Solartainer XL+.

The first Solartainer marked the start of our journey. Today, we're introducing the biggest one in the range.

The XL+ can replace a diesel generator up to 125 kVA, and it's built to deliver reliable power on higher-demand sites.

Think Hire solar hybrids combine the advantages of renewable energy with added reliability.
During the day, the solar array charges a lithium-ion battery, so renewable energy is your primary power source.
The backup generator kicks in only if the battery is depleted, so power keeps flowing.

For our customers, that means less fuel, lower running costs, reduced CO₂, NOx, SO₂ and PM emissions, and a quieter site.

You can synchronise units and add renewables input like solar Skyframes, wind turbines, or hydro generation as your site needs grow.
And of course, every unit is managed and monitored by Think Energy Panorama, the only proactive energy management system in the UK market.

How transparent is our data, and why does that matter?
Or, an even more important question: How do you know the carbon savings figures you're shown are accurate?

Beyond our in-house expertise, we asked an independent third party to check.

Positive Planet has assessed the methodology behind the carbon savings calculations within Think Energy Panorama that produce the figures we report to customers, against GHG Protocol principles. Their conclusion: the methodology is sound, and the calculations are done correctly.

On top of direct telemetry data, this independent assessment gave us a check on the work behind the numbers before we put them in front of customers.

For customers, that means you can use these figures in your ESG and decarbonisation reporting with confidence.

Our BESS range doesn't need an introduction. Here's one anyway.

Think Hire SiteGrid X range runs from the small but mighty X3 right up to the X1000, the biggest unit we've built, currently going through testing in our load simulation bay. We're talking 1000 kVA peak power and 948 kWh of storage capacity, numbers that set the bar.

Hardware is only half the story. Think Energy Panorama, powered by Galooli, is the only proactive energy management system in the UK market. It means remote issue rectification and 92% fewer callouts, problems caught and fixed before they become downtime.

Put these elements together, and you get something genuinely unique: an Energy-as-a-Service proposition built on hardware that scales to any site and software that keeps watching over it.
It's a range we're confident will keep leading for a while yet.

That's what we're here for: sustainable energy infrastructure for your off-grid project, no matter the size.
