The global temporary power market was valued at $6.4 billion in 2023, and is projected to reach $16.7 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 10.2% from 2024 to 2033.
Temporary power solutions are indispensable in the film and television production industry, where the location of filming does not have access to a consistent power supply. Film sets, especially those located outdoors or in remote areas, require temporary power to run cameras, lighting, special effects, and other equipment. Lighting is crucial in film production, and temporary power allows filmmakers to set up lights, rigs, and other electrical equipment to create the desired atmosphere and effects.
The oil and gas industry often requires temporary power during exploration, drilling, and extraction operations, particularly in remote or offshore locations. Temporary power systems in these industries are used to support drilling rigs, pumps, lights, and other heavy-duty equipment. Oil and gas projects, especially those in offshore or remote areas, face unique challenges in maintaining a continuous power supply. Temporary power solutions enable the industry to maintain operations while waiting for permanent power infrastructure or to supplement power during peak demand periods.
However, high operational costs of temporary power is expected to restrain the growth of market. High operational costs are a major challenge in the temporary power market, especially when power is needed for extended periods. Diesel consumption is a primary cost driver, with fuel expenses escalating during long-term use, such as in natural disasters or construction projects. Fluctuating fuel prices make costs unpredictable. Additionally, maintenance of generators, including oil changes and routine inspections, adds to expenses, with remote locations increasing costs due to the difficulty of accessing qualified technicians. Transport costs for delivering heavy equipment to remote sites further contribute to the overall financial burden of using temporary power solutions.
On the basis of power source, diesel dominated the temporary power market in 2023. In industries like construction and mining, diesel-powered temporary power systems are essential for operating equipment and providing lighting and HVAC systems in remote locations where grid power may not be accessible. The flexibility and portability of diesel generators make them a practical choice, as they can be quickly set up and moved as the project progresses. Additionally, these systems can support backup power for critical equipment such as refrigeration units, computer systems, or communication networks, ensuring business continuity.
On the basis of end-use, utilities dominated the market in 2023. Temporary power solutions are used in utility infrastructure projects, including the installation and maintenance of power plants, substations, and transmission lines. For instance, during scheduled maintenance or upgrades of the primary grid system, temporary power ensures that the utility's operations, such as control systems, safety measures, and backup lighting, continue running without causing significant downtime or safety risks. Furthermore, temporary power supports emergency situations, like in the aftermath of natural disasters (e.g., hurricanes, floods, or earthquakes), where the grid may be compromised. It provides immediate relief to areas affected by power outages, ensuring essential services like hospitals, water treatment plants, and emergency shelters have a constant power supply.
Introduction
Temporary power refers to electrical systems and equipment that are used for a short duration in a location or site that lacks a permanent power supply or requires an additional power source. This type of power solution is designed to meet the immediate and short-term electricity needs of various industries or applications. Temporary power systems typically include generators, transformers, distribution panels, and other related infrastructure, providing a flexible, reliable power source during projects, emergencies, or special events.Temporary power solutions are indispensable in the film and television production industry, where the location of filming does not have access to a consistent power supply.

Market Dynamics
Natural disasters, such as hurricanes, floods, and earthquakes, often damage electrical grids, causing extended power outages. During such events, industries, hospitals, and residential areas require immediate access to reliable power, and temporary solutions such as generators and mobile units play a vital role in providing electricity. Power outages, whether from natural disasters or technical failures, disrupt business operations, leading to financial setbacks. Temporary power systems ensure continuity in critical operations. In addition, India's Ministry of Power announced a $110 billion plan in September 2024 to strengthen the national grid, aiming to expand its transmission network and capacity by 2032 to meet growing energy demands.However, high operational costs of temporary power is expected to restrain the growth of market.
