Just Ai this
There’s no official published day-rate from Speedy Hire yet for their hydrogen generators (they price them case-by-case as part of a package), but we can pin it down pretty closely from industry data 👇
💷 Typical hire cost (realistic range)
A hydrogen generator (like the AFC “H-Power” units Speedy uses) is roughly:
👉 ~£700 per week (ballpark)
That’s based on UK construction benchmarks comparing:
Diesel generator: ~£350/week
Hydrogen generator: ~2× higher (~£700/week)
⚠️ But Speedy’s actual pricing is more complex
With the AFC Energy partnership, they don’t just hire a generator on its own:
Their model usually bundles:
Generator unit
Hydrogen fuel supply
Delivery & setup
Monitoring / maintenance support
👉 So in reality, customers often pay:
£700–£1,500+ per week equivalent depending on:
power size (e.g. 10kW vs 30kW)
hydrogen consumption
site logistics
contract length
🧠 Key takeaway
Bare unit estimate: ~£700/week
Real-world Speedy package: typically higher once fuel + service are included
Pricing style: bespoke quotes (not off-the-shelf rates like diesel gensets)
