SHIFT POWER | ENERGIZE YOUR WORLD
There is a power shift happening worldwide
• From fossil fuels to a blend of renewable, accessible alternatives
• From volatility to user-controlled supply management
• From excess waste and emissions to sustainable energy inventories and zero-emissions
• From single-resource dependence to multi-purpose energy architectures
• From thinking backward to rebuilding energy confidence in the future
2
CoverTel Power exists to accelerate this power shift by engineering and building the technologies needed to make it happen.

Data Centre UPSIdeal Requirements
Compact, high-density power generators in the racks next to the loads
Unlimited energy storage, moved out of the data room
Modular, plug-in power generation units, easy installation, interface and commissioning with standard UPS models
Easy future upgrade for increased power by adding modules and racks
No decay* due to operation No decay* due to disuse (dormancy) No decay* due to start/stop cycling No periodic start-up requirement Safety requirements easily met Reduced or eliminated maintenance
requirements Lower overall costs than pure battery
solution Exactly predictable run-time Run-time easily further extended while
operating online
* - performance as well as reliability!
