Power
Across Australia, demand is growing for smart, portable generators compatible with renewable energy, driven by a stronger focus on sustainability and the need for reliable backup power across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors.
At Opt Hire, we supply temporary power solutions that are built for performance, safety, and compliance. From compact generators for short-term jobs to large-scale site power systems that span months, our equipment is ready to handle whatever your project throws at it.
Temporary Power Infrastructure
As the backbone of any worksite, without power, nothing else runs. From single-phase generators for small-scale setups to large-capacity three-phase units for high-demand sites, we offer scalable solutions to suit every stage of your project.
Our team can help with:
- Planning site power layout
- Load requirement analysis
- Configuration of distribution boards, cabling, and switchgears
- Fuel management
- Backup redundancy planning
- On-call technical support
Every unit is rigorously tested and tagged to meet Australian safety standards. Whether you're dealing with tough site conditions or tight compliance deadlines, our power infrastructure is built to perform.
Built for Performance, Safety, and Compliance
We know power hire is more than just plugging in a generator. You’ve got to think about: site layout, cabling, load sharing, emergency backup, emissions, refuelling logistics, and all while staying Australian Safety Standard compliant.
That’s why our temporary power infrastructure is designed with genuine site conditions in mind. Every piece of equipment is regularly tested, serviced, and tagged, so when it arrives, it’s ready to go. We also provide compliant setups tailored to your project’s specific needs, including:
- Generator sizing and phase matching
- Distribution boards and cabling
- Earthing and grounding setups
- Noise reduction for urban environments
- Weather protection and fuel efficiency
Need support with a permit, electrical sign-off, or custom installation? Our technicians and support team are just a phone call away.

Complete Power Planning & Site Support
Temporary power isn’t one-size-fits-all, especially if your site layout is changing over time or if you’re working across multiple zones. That’s where our end-to-end power planning comes in.
We’ll work with your project managers or electrical contractors to scope out your requirements, recommend the most efficient configuration, and deliver a flexible, future-proof setup. We assist with:
- Power needs analysis and generator sizing
- Distribution and load balancing
- Fuel supply, storage, and top-up schedules
- Temporary lighting planning for safety zones
- Environmental and acoustic considerations
- Compliance and switchboard labelling
As your project grows or wraps up, we’ll help reconfigure or downsize the power plan, so you’re only paying for what you use, when you need it.
Sustainable Power Options
Looking to reduce your carbon footprint? Our sustainable power range includes:
- Solar-hybrid generators that minimise diesel use
- Fuel management systems for smarter usage and cost control
- Low-noise, low-emission units for residential and sensitive zones
- Automated load sharing to reduce unnecessary runtime
Whether you're targeting sustainability KPIs or just want to save on fuel and servicing, we’ve got the options to support a greener, cleaner worksite.
