About Us

Tower Power Ltd

Tower Power Ltd is an alternative energy company based in the UK, established in 2011. Our core technological propositions have been in development for over twenty years under the stewardship of our Co-founders. Tower Power is set up to manufacture and supply innovative fuel cell based power generation units for locations which require an off-grid solution. In fact the product is a power generator for base load (prime) power applications which replace traditional diesel generators. The product is supported by a third party fuel cell under special arrangement with the manufacturer. The unit is integrated into the total system- ToWER/CuBE™. Development of the product from concept, design, prototypes and models for commercial operation is proprietary to Tower Power as well as parts of software and hardware that is privy, is also proprietary. Our fuel processor produces Hydrogen from liquid ammonia that serves as fuel to operate the generator

The ToWER/CuBE™ has been specifically developed for the telecoms market and directly addresses that industry's pressing concerns. The ToWER/CuBE™ - in its different configurations - can serve all sectors- stand-alone power generation, back-up / uninterruptible power supplies, remote power generation and telecom towers. It has the potential to replace existing diesel generator sets responsible for large amounts of pollution. Successful prototypes of the ToWER/CuBE™ have been built and tested in the field and we can already achieve a 37.5% lower cost of ownership and 60% lower operational cost (based on 2.5kW Customer Output Power over a 5yr period) than currently deployed Diesel equivalent. Costs are set to fall as greater sales volume is achieved.
