Base Power's first unit: A testament to durability and reliability
At Base Power, we take pride in providing energy solutions that endure, even in the toughest environments. Today, we're celebrating a milestone that showcases this commitment: the very first Base Power unit, installed in 2008, is still in operation today—16 years later!
Looking back to 2008
In 2008, during Base Power's early days, we installed our first power unit for Powerco in a remote, challenging location. The terrain was rugged, the environment unforgiving, and access was limited to a demanding 4WD track. Despite these obstacles, our team successfully deployed the unit, confident in its ability to perform under such tough conditions.
16 years of reliable service
Now in 2024, that same unit continues to operate, providing consistent power for over a decade and a half. Its ongoing performance is a testament to the durability and reliability of Base Power's technology.
Innovative problem solving
One challenge this unit faced was accessibility. Road issues sometimes made traditional maintenance impossible, requiring helicopter servicing instead. Yet, thanks to its robust design, the unit has needed minimal intervention, demonstrating the value of resilient, low-maintenance solutions in remote areas.
A legacy of excellence
This milestone is not just a reflection on the past but also an opportunity to look forward. The enduring performance of our first unit embodies Base Power's mission to deliver durable, reliable energy solutions, regardless of where they’re deployed.
As we innovate and expand our offerings, we remain committed to the principles that shaped that first unit: durability, reliability, and the ability to excel in challenging environments. We’re proud of our journey and excited for what lies ahead.
Here’s to the next 16 years of powering progress, one reliable unit at a time!
