Crestline brings commercial discipline to temporary power systems.
Advisory for rental, construction and mining fleets integrating battery, hybrid and controls platforms.
Board-level scrutiny
Engaged when investment must withstand scrutiny — before and during deployment.
Independent
Not a vendor. Not an EPC. Decisions grounded in economics, technology, and fleet reality.
Temporary-power only
Designed for utilisation, support burden, site constraints, and operational simplicity.
Why independence matters
Suppliers optimise products. Crestline optimises decisions. Field outcomes fail less often on equipment capability, and more often on commercial fit, operational friction, and avoidable complexity.
- Rental fleets deploying batteries and hybrids across diverse sites.
- Construction projects balancing noise, access, and power profiles.
- Mining operations requiring reliability, simplicity, and control.
How Crestline engages
Engagements are structured to reduce execution risk and improve capital outcomes — from early-stage decision support through to rollout validation.
Strategy & sequencing
Opportunity filtering, fleet economics, utilisation impacts, and a defensible path from pilot to scale.
Specification & architecture
System definition that aligns OEMs, integrators and fleet teams before capital is committed.
Commercial pilot design
What to trial, where, and why — with success metrics that survive scrutiny and translate to procurement.
Review & assurance
Technical and commercial review during rollout to prevent avoidable underperformance and support blowouts.
Selected initiatives
Crestline supports and develops initiatives that improve real-world performance — staying disciplined about what is shared publicly while still signalling depth.
Dynamic Generator Detection (DGD)
Control-layer concept to improve generator–battery integration efficiency under real site behaviour.
OPTHive pilot architecture
Commercial and technical model for distributed solar‑battery site deployments with fleet realities baked in.
OEM specification support
Functional specification support for BESS and hybrid platforms targeting non‑permanent sites.
Leadership
Craig Skipsey
Managing Partner
Craig works at the intersection of economics, technology and on-site operations — helping fleet operators make investment decisions that withstand scrutiny.
Experience spans hybrid and battery deployments, system architecture, functional specification, and commercial pilot development across the rental, construction and mining context.
Practical clarity for complex problems.
Crestline collaborates with specialist engineering and controls partners where required — while remaining independent in recommendations and decision framing.
- Capital decisions approaching procurement or tender.
- Pilot design before scaling a fleet category.
- Board or exec scrutiny on ROI, utilisation and support burden.
- Deployment complexity increasing beyond internal capability.
Start a conversation
If a decision needs to be defensible — commercially and technically — reach out. You’ll get a considered reply (not a sales funnel).
- Exclusively focused on rental, construction and mining sites.
- Battery, hybrid and controls decisions that must be defensible.
- Engaged before and during rollout — not crisis clean‑up.
