Recent figures suggest that British manufacturing could be entering a more positive period and therefore buying British is of crucial importance. The nee report from The Office for National Statistics showed that in January of this year, manufacturing output had risen by 0.7% month-on-month. This follows on from falling levels in the previous three months and is a feature of growth that industrial products such as diesel and electrical generators have played a key role in. Not only do these provide the power driving some manufacturing endeavours, but there are a number of models which are themselves manufactured in the UK. It is therefore expected that interest in these units is to rise in the coming months.

Recently released statistics have drawn attention to a high rate of growth expected within generator sales – at a 5.85% CAGR. This suggests that power generation is of ever-increasing demand; particularly the case as populations increase and more people are demanding a versatile method of generating power which they can potentially transport. Electrical generators are therefore particularly popular and set to be prominent, as electricity is seen as a vital resource and to be able to generate it through a portable unit can unlock many opportunities; with use at festivals, outdoor events and even holiday resorts.

January and February 2016 have been the months of the famous Reith Lectures; a series of academic talks led by a prominent expert in their field – this year being led by Professor Stephen Hawking, the notable physicist. Over the course of the lectures, the particular attention paid to electricity and how it is generated have been profound - a subject many people will find fascinating. The focus of his discussions has been Black Holes, then leading into power generation and energy.

The importance of having quality, powerful generators has been emphasized by recent announcements that some of the Royal Navy's most prominent Warships are set to be fitted with new engines and technologies. The fleet concerned is six Type 45 destroyers and it is thought that implementations such as upgrading the diesel generators will address issues of reliability and add to power. This is raising the profile and discussion of diesel generators and the systems in which they may be used; something that Electrical Generators was keen to comment on.

Considerable growth is expected for the diesel generators market over the coming years, including in the UK, according a new report released by Market Watch. With an estimated worth of $16.96 billion by 2020, the market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.4%. Playing a key role in this is expected to be the demand for a powerful fuel source, especially from heavy industry. Keen to comment on this have been a number of experts including Electrical Generators Ltd, who also supply diesel models. After all, the positive predictions mean it is a potentially advantageous time for businesses to invest in a generator if they believe one will be necessary.

The limits of conventional power systems were highlighted during the recent floods which affected a number of areas in the UK, as many homes were left without power altogether. Strong winds combined with heavy rains characterised negative patterns of weather which were named by the Met Office these include Storm Desmond and Frank. These conditions caused significant disruptions to power systems, including uprooting cabling and affecting machinery. In turn, the importance of the role of electrical generators came to the fore, as affected people opted for portable units in order to see them through the initial damage. It is expected that greater attention will be paid therefore to ensuring that UK citizens have appropriate access to power resources and basic facilities when affected by severe weather.
