BPE Expands Global Footprint with UK Market Entry

Noida-based manufacturer of critical-power and energy-storage systems company, Best Power Equipments (BPE) has ventured into the UK market through a distribution partnership with OPT Services.

Through OPT Services, BPE will distribute its products such as uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, battery energy storage systems (BESS), Smart Racks and intelligent power distribution units (iPDUs) to data centres, critical-infrastructure operators and industrial customers.  

The partnership will initially focus on London and other key UK data-centre clusters before expanding nationwide. OPT Services will drive market development, customer engagement and channel building, while BPE will provide engineering support, application design, product training and marketing assistance. Standard products will be held in local stock, while larger UPS, BESS and data-centre projects will be supplied against confirmed orders.

The partnership follows two years of engagement with the UK market, including BPE’s participation in Data Centre World London. The company sees the UK as a strategic market and an important base for its broader European expansion plans.

BPE manufactures its solutions at its Noida facility and has experience supporting India’s expanding digital infrastructure. The company has an installed base of more than two million UPS units and operates across more than 25 countries. Its critical-power portfolio spans capacities from 650VA to 8MW.

Its portfolio includes lithium-ion systems, Smart Racks, iPDUs, BESS solutions positioned as alternatives to diesel generator sets, and integrated data-centre platforms combining batteries, modular UPS systems and power distribution.

BPE said the UK’s growing demand for data-centre capacity and energy-storage solutions presents an opportunity for its India-made products. Data-centre capacity demand in London is projected to reach 189MW in 2026, against 180MW of new supply. At the same time, the UK Government is targeting 23GW to 27GW of battery capacity by 2030.

“Over the past 25 years, BPE has built critical-power infrastructure for some of the most demanding operating environments,” said Amitansu Satpathy, Founder and Group Managing Director, BPE. “The UK’s accelerating data-centre and energy-storage requirements create a strong opportunity for our India-made solutions. With OPT Services, we will combine local market reach with BPE’s engineering, design and service capability.”

Calum Barker, Managing Director, OPT Services, said, “We are pleased to partner with BPE to bring its critical-power and energy-storage portfolio to UK customers. The partnership combines BPE’s proven engineering capability with OPT Services’ local market knowledge and customer support, enabling us to address growing requirements across the data-centre, infrastructure and industrial sectors.”
