Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.AGGREKO, the world's largest renter of power generators, rose 15 per cent last week, bringing its total gain in August to 31 per cent after first-half profit rose a better-than-expected 28 per cent to pounds 10.5m.
The Glasgow-based company's International Power Projects unit - which serves customers such as BP Amoco and the Royal Dutch Shell Group - led the gain as it boosted sales outside Europe and North America by 50 per cent to pounds 16.9m, the company said.
Aggreko rents out generators during the construction of small-scale power plants. About 60 per cent of its earnings come from generator hire; 30 per cent from temperature controls, and 10 per cent from oil-free compressors used in the food industry.
