Fast-expanding IT company, idash, has described its decision to hire a super sustainable Stage V, JCB backup generator from Star Power as a “no-brainer” – saying it is a key element of its push for growth. Star Power has delivered and installed a new JCB G100RS Stage V generator at the Cambridgeshire HQ of idash, a premium provider of IT services to the commercial sector. The near-silent generator is 100kVA prime-rated and 110kVA stand-by rated. Its Stage V engine delivers the most efficient, low-emissions performance possible. It can also be run on bio-diesel HVO fuel, which reduces CO2 emissions by up to 90% and harmful particulates by up to 86%.
Stage V Generators – a “no-brainer” for idash
The Star Power maintained generator now provides full, reliable, and highly sustainable power backup for idash, safeguarding its own IT assets and services, and those of its growing portfolio of customers.
Chris Elt, an idash director, said: “We had been carrying out a review of our power backup support, so invited Star Power to assess our requirements and what they had to offer. From the word go, we’ve been impressed with their technical advice and knowledge, and the generator recommended. Accepting Star Power’s suggestion of taking a Stage V, JCB generator was really a no-brainer. JCB is a world-class brand that builds trust with our service users. Having a Stage V generator supports our sustainability strategy at a time when our clients are also keen to shrink the carbon footprints of their supply chains. Based on client feedback, I firmly believe using a JCB, Stage V generator, backed by Star Power service, gives us a marketing edge. It’s demonstrating we take carbon net zero seriously and it gives clients full confidence that their digital services and data will not be compromised by mains power loss.”
Futureproof power
Star Power’s Head of Power, Paul Ridley, said: “We’re delighted Chris and the team at idash are pleased with their new generator. “IT companies need 100% certainty that backup power will kick in precisely when it’s needed, especially when there has been growing concern about continuity of mains supply. “That’s what this JCB G100RS generator is designed to deliver. Also, as a Stage V generator, it future-proofs idash’s fuel efficiency and emissions reduction commitments.”
