Message from the CEO

Tempest Storm Rentals (TSR) grew out of a demand from the electric utility industry and their contractors who were continually challenged by the need for equipment and tools for massive restoration projects. When natural disasters destroy the electric grid and interrupt normal life for millions of people, energy companies apply every resource to return their customers’ lives back to normal.

Recognizing that scarcity of resources can affect the timing of restoration, TSR provides needed equipment and tools to expand their ability to respond. As your partner for equipment and tools, TSR supports our infrastructure clients and the people they serve to build a more resilient grid and restore customer services quickly.
