Powr2 Names Toby Nunn Operations Director
Powr2, a North American leader in innovative energy solutions, has named Toby Nunn as operations director. Nunn has been integral in the evolution of Powr2 from concept to reality and steps into this leadership role as the company launches its Hybrid Energy System.
The HES, a portable power supply that integrates with diesel generators to optimize load capacities, features lithium ion battery technology and automatic load-level sensing to cut generator maintenance and fuel costs, improve efficiency and reduce emissions for power rental companies.
“I am excited to be piloting the launch of this innovative technology to the North American market,” Nunn said. “We’ve seen a lot of growth in the construction industry, where hybrid energy systems can assist with generator low load mitigation, noise ordinance compliance and efficient energy consumption, but our customers have also seen the benefits of the HES at sporting events, film sets, remote locations in the oil and gas industry, temporary accommodations, and industries that rely on cyclical loads.”
Nunn has 10 years of industry experience as a business leader for a global fuel tank brand. He co-founded and established Powr2 to provide fuel handling solutions that increase efficiency to the rental, construction, municipal, oil and gas and specialty markets.
