Temporary power is generation deployed for a defined period, project phase, or operational requirement, such as construction, commissioning, a planned shutdown, or seasonal demand. Bridging power is a specific type of temporary power that fills the gap until permanent generation, a grid connection, or other long-term power infrastructure becomes available. In both cases, the scope typically includes generation, distribution, fuel, and operations.
Reliable Power That Bridges the Gap
Temporary and Bridging Power Solutions for Industrial and Utility-Scale Operations
Prismecs delivers temporary and bridging power at megawatt scale, combining generation, electrical distribution, fuel coordination, and operations under one contract. Capacity is available through short or long-term arrangements, equipment leasing, lease-to-own structures, or fully managed power packages.
Bridging the Gap Between
Power Demand and Supply
When grid connections are delayed, permanent power plants are under development, or existing supply is disrupted, businesses need a reliable power source to maintain operations until permanent supply becomes available.
Prismecs helps bridge these power gaps through temporary and bridging power solutions, with power leasing available for customers who need generation equipment without committing to a purchase.
The power leasing option provides access to the required generation capacity for the duration of a project, without the need to purchase equipment outright.
What Our Temporary and Bridging Power Solutions Include
Prismecs provides temporary and bridging power at megawatt scale, with the generation, electrical, fuel, and O&M scope configured around each project’s load, site condition, and operating period.
Temporary Power Solution
Short-term power generation for construction, commissioning, planned shutdowns, seasonal demand, emergency requirements, and other temporary operating needs. Solutions can include power generation, electrical distribution, BESS, fuel systems, and O&M support as required.
Bridging Power Solution
Interim generation for projects waiting on grid connection, pipeline gas, permanent generation, or other long-lead infrastructure before full operations can begin. Prismecs defines both the temporary power system and the transition plan to the permanent solution, aligned with project timelines.
Equipment Leasing
Gas turbines, reciprocating gensets, BESS, transformers, switchgear, and other power equipment can be provided for an agreed lease term based on project needs. Maintenance and technical support can be included based on the project requirements and equipment specifications.
Lease-to-Own Arrangements
Lease-to-own arrangements provide a defined path to equipment ownership at the end of the agreed term. Asset condition, maintenance requirements, transfer terms, and responsibilities are defined upfront, with financing options available through qualified capital partners, subject to agreed terms and conditions.
Managed Power Packages
For customers requiring a complete operating solution, Prismecs can combine generation, electrical systems, operators, maintenance, monitoring, and fuel coordination under one managed scope. This provides a single point of coordination from deployment through the agreed operating term.
How Prismecs Delivers Temporary and Bridging Power
Prismecs follows a structured process to coordinate engineering, procurement, site work, and operations from initial planning through demobilization, extension, or transition to permanent power.
The Equipment Behind Temporary and Bridging Power
Prismecs sources equipment through OEMs and qualified partners, then configures each package around your load, fuel, site requirements, and project duration.
Prismecs sources industrial gas turbine packages through OEMs and qualified partners, selecting aeroderivative or heavy-frame turbines based on capacity, fuel, site conditions, availability, and project requirements. Options may include aeroderivative models such as the TM2500, LM2500, and LM6000, or heavy-frame units such as GE Frame 5, 6B, 7E, and 9E, Solar industrial gas turbines, and other suitable models as required.
Prismecs provides natural gas and diesel gensets for prime, standby, and peaking applications. Paralleling can support additional capacity and redundancy, making these systems suitable for temporary power supply, bridging arrangements, and sites awaiting permanent generation.
Prismecs provides BESS and UPS systems for ride-through during source transfers and backup support when needed. They can also support peak shaving and hybrid operation alongside leased generation, improving system flexibility and continuity.
Step-up and step-down transformers, MV and LV switchgear, protection relays, and temporary distribution systems are sized and configured to match the point of connection, voltage requirements, and site load for temporary or bridging power installations.
Prismecs integrates pipeline gas systems with PRMS and gas-treatment interfaces to support temporary and bridging generation as needed. Where pipeline gas is unavailable, CNG or LNG can be delivered through virtual pipelines with planned storage and replenishment.
Load banks and test equipment are used for applicable load, functional, and acceptance testing before the system enters service.
Why Industrial Operators Choose Prismecs for Temporary and Bridging Power
Prismecs is accountable for delivered power, not just equipment supply. Temporary and bridging capacity is engineered, deployed, and operated as one integrated system, from initial assessment through to end-of-term handover.
One Team from Assessment to Operations
The Prismecs team that assesses requirements, selects equipment, and manages deployment also operates and maintains the system throughout the agreed term, avoiding handovers between service providers.
A Clear Plan for the End of the Term
Before deployment begins, Prismecs agrees on whether the arrangement will be extended, equipment removed, capacity integrated with permanent power, or ownership transferred under a lease-to-own agreement.
Temporary Power at Megawatt Scale
Prismecs configures gas turbines, reciprocating gensets, battery storage systems, and electrical distribution systems to meet large power demands, based on required capacity, project duration, and site conditions.
Financing Support Through Capital Partners
Financing may be available through qualified capital partners for temporary and bridging power projects, subject to availability, eligibility, project requirements, and mutually agreed terms and conditions.
Compliance Built into Project Planning
Prismecs reviews applicable electrical codes, emissions standards, environmental permits, and grid interconnection requirements during planning and engineering, helping address compliance needs before equipment arrives on site.

Frequently Asked Questions
The decision depends on the expected duration of the requirement, equipment utilization, available capital, and whether the customer intends to own the asset at the end of the term. For temporary and bridging power needs, leasing often allows faster deployment without capital expenditure, while lease-to-own arrangements provide a path to ownership if the requirement becomes permanent. Prismecs can assess both options based on the specific project.
Pricing is based on the required capacity, technology selection, deployment duration, fuel arrangements, operations and maintenance scope, mobilization distance, site works, and end-of-term conditions. Prismecs provides project-specific proposals following a load and site assessment rather than quoting from a standard rate card.
Ownership can transfer at the end of the agreed term, subject to agreed terms and conditions. Asset condition and maintenance records are established from the start. Financing may also be available through qualified capital partners, subject to eligibility and terms and conditions.
Equipment is selected based on the required MW, operating period, fuel, site conditions, and electrical interface. Solutions may include TM2500 and other fast-deploy gas turbine packages, reciprocating gensets, BESS, transformers, switchgear, temporary distribution, fuel systems, and load banks for commissioning and testing. LM2500, LM6000, and other heavy-duty gas turbines are also available for long-term bridging power, depending on project requirements.
