Boulton builds containerised power stations that generate electricity on your site, at a fraction of the grid price. The queue is optional.

Containerised power stations, designed and built in Britain.

The name reflects the mission

Demand for power is outrunning the grid. Data centres, factories and AI now move faster than the network that feeds them, and the queue for a connection is measured in years.

Read our story
Matthew Boulton sold his engines on the savings they delivered. Boulton exists to do the same for electricity: dependable machines, paid for by the waste they eliminate.
01 · Containerised Manufacturing

A power station
in a container

Every unit is built and tested at full load in our UK facility, then arrives on a truck: precision gas engine, generator, heat recovery and controls in a single enclosure.

02 · Total Efficiency

90% of the fuel,
put to work

40% of the fuel becomes electricity. Another 51% becomes usable heat for processes, hot water or cooling. The grid wastes half of every unit it sells you.

03 · Speed of Deployment

Six months
to switch-on

From signed agreement to generation in around six months, handled end to end: design, consents, gas works, commissioning. The equivalent grid connection is quoted in years.

04 · Future Fuels

Biomethane-ready,
hydrogen-minded

Every engine runs on biomethane with no conversion cost, and hydrogen blending is on the engineering roadmap. Decarbonisation without new hardware.

On-site power needs a partner that can move from first survey to certified switch-on.

Boulton combines precision manufacturing, full-load testing, heat-recovery engineering and long-term operations for data centres and industrial sites that cannot afford uncertainty.

The numbers behind every Boulton deployment.

Data centres, factories and cold storage share one constraint: the grid. On-site generation covers the load the network cannot deliver.
