Power Skid

A power skid is a factory-built electrical module of switchgear, transformers and sometimes UPS, shipped to site and connected as one unit. Prefabricating electrical gear off-site can cut on-site installation time by weeks and reduces labour risk on remote campuses. Skids are typically sized in blocks of 1 to 5 MW, so capacity can be added as tenants arrive instead of building a full electrical room up front. They are common in modular and AI builds where schedule matters more than footprint, and they pair with long-lead equipment orders that can run 50 to 100 weeks for large transformers.
