Power by the Hour

Power by the Hour (PBTH) is a fixed rate subscription plan that gives you instant access to green equipment, without major capital investment.

A flexible alternative to buying or leasing

If you’re looking to lease ground support equipment instead of buying it, ITW GSE offers a different approach: Power by the Hour (PBTH).

PBTH is not a leasing contract. It is a flexible, fixed-rate subscription plan for ground support equipment, giving you access to battery-driven equipment without a major upfront capital investment.

 

Choose a subscription based on the number of units and expected operating hours. Plans range from 90 to 210 hours per month or unlimited use, with additional hours charged at a flat rate and no penalty rate.

What is PBTH?

PBTH stands for Power by the Hour. It is ITW GSE’s flexible, fixed-rate subscription plan for battery-driven ground power units (eGPUs), giving you access to the equipment you need without a major upfront capital investment.

The subscription can be scaled to match the number of units and operating hours your operation requires.

THE OBVIOUS CHOICE

A diesel GPU typically runs eight hours a day. All the time at high speeds to generate the 400 Hz necessary to supply an aircraft with power. Doing so, the diesel GPU consumes more than 40,000 liters (10,550 gallons) of diesel a year. To this comes overhaul, maintenance and repairs. In fact, 2/3 of your expenses for a diesel GPU are operating and maintenance expenditures. By replacing your old diesel equipment with new eGPUs on a Power by the Hours plan, you not only lower your Operating expenditures (OPEX) - you save money all together, AND you save the world and the immediate environment for a lot of CO2 emissions.

In Europe alone, there are approximately 4,000 diesel GPUs running day in and day out. If we replace just 1,000 of those, this corresponds to removing the emissions from 30,000 cars each and every year!

Go Green 
Cut Costs 

If you lease a diesel GPU on a 6 hours/day basis your OPEX will be $65,000 a year. In comparison, an eGPU on a Power by the Hour subscription costs approx. $48,000 a year. Therefore, choosing an eGPU means reductions of your OPEX with more than $50.000 over three years - per eGPU.

Six hours a day is a modest figure compared to the average use in the industry. The more hours your eGPUs run, the more you save. Furthermore, we do not consider any GPU that you have in reserve to ensure a resilient operation. Even if you usually buy your GPUs, you come out on top when you choose a Power by the Hour subscription.

When working environment matters!

A diesel GPU provides stable 400 Hz power - as long as it’s not in the workshop for repair or maintenance. But it fails in everything else. It creates an uncomfortably noisy working environment. It’s the single biggest polluter at every turnaround and the high level of NOx emissions can have a negative impact on the health of your operators.

With a fleet of eGPUs, you can leave all of this behind and play your part in creating a more sustainable future.

Pay for what you need

With Power by the Hour you no longer have money tied up in hardware and you only pay for what you need.

PBTH is scalable and can easily be adapted to your needs. This applies both to how many units the plan includes and the number of hours you will use your GPUs per month – from 90 to 210 hours per month or unlimited. If you exceed the hours available on a yearly basis, extra hours are charged on a flat rate basis. We have no penalty rate for exceeding hours.

It’s your chance to instantly go green with minimal financial impact.
