Aggreko named the Official Temporary Energy
Services Supplier for the TORONTO 2015 Pan Am/Parapan American
Games
Aggreko, the world-leading provider of temporary power and
temperature control solutions, has been named the Official
Temporary Energy Services Supplier for the TORONTO 2015 Pan
Am/Parapan American Games being held in Toronto, Canada. The Pan
American/Parapan events will be held July 10-26th and Aug. 7-14th,
respectively.
The two sporting events expect more than 10,000 athletes and
officials from 41 countries who will participate in the largest
international multi-sport event Canada has ever hosted. The TORONTO
2015 Games is slated to host more athletes and sports than the
Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, in which
Aggreko provided power generation to both of those monumental
sporting events.
Aggreko will play a key role in designing and providing both
temporary power and temperature control solutions to the Games and
the Cisco International Broadcast Center.
“We’re glad to have Aggreko as our Official Temporary Energy
Services Supplier,” said Saad Rafi, CEO, TORONTO 2015 Pan
Am/Parapan American Games Organizing Committee. “We want to provide
athletes, coaches and spectators with an experience they’ll always
remember and Aggreko provides a service we know we can count
on.”
Aggreko will supply more than 100 generators totaling over 50MW
of temporary power that will provide primary and back-up power
systems across the Games; and design and install power redundancy
to support the live global broadcast as well as the Games’ timing
and scoring systems. In addition, Aggreko will keep the athletes
cool by providing its temperature control systems for the CIBC
Athletes Village dining facility and more than 30 surrounding
technical venues.
“We are honored to extend our expertise and partner with the
TORONTO 2015 Pan Am Games,” said Bruce Pool, managing director of
Aggreko North America. “We are the leaders in our industry and we
have a history of delivering power and temperature solutions that
are customized to meet the strategic requirements of large-scale
events.”
“Aggreko has been providing temporary utility services for
several years to businesses and organizations throughout Toronto,
so we’re very pleased to be part of this event that’s so important
to the province and to Canada,” Pool further commented. “We’re
passionate about contributing to sports and to communities, so
we’re very proud to be a part of the Games.”
This is Aggreko’s third time supporting both the Pan
American/Parapan American Games with its power systems and
temperature control solutions.
