Aggreko has introduced three Tier 4 Final diesel generators built for remote Canadian work sites, adding 145 kW, 210 kW and 1,200 kW 600V models to its Canadian fleet. The units are available exclusively to Canadian contractors, according to the company.
Aggreko says the generators are configured to meet Canadian market and regulatory requirements. All three carry CSA and UN31A compliance for Canadian electrical and fuel regulations. They also incorporate the company’s latest generator technologies for reliable, low-emissions power in commercial and industrial applications.
The 1,200 kW model is the largest of the group and features onboard 600V capability. Aggreko says this eliminates the need for additional step-up transformers. Direct 600V output is intended to reduce project complexity, improve cost-efficiency and reduce potential points of failure. The company positions the unit for large industrial loads where 600V is often required.
“Tailoring our most advanced generators for our Canadian customers underscores the importance of this market for Aggreko,” said Paul Nascimento, managing director for Canada at Aggreko. He cited large petrochemical and mining industries that need power across vast, remote territories, as well as construction and data-centre sectors. Nascimento said Canada has clear demand for engineered energy solutions that are powerful and precisely configured, and that the new models pair Aggreko technology with hardware tailored to Canadian operating requirements.
The 145 kW and 210 kW models are canopy units that Aggreko describes as readily deployable for immediate energy needs. The 1,200 kW model is aimed at large industrial loads. The additions extend Aggreko’s Canadian fleet, which ranges from 25 kW to 1,200 kW.
Aggreko’s Canadian service centres and energy experts will work with customers in data centres, construction, oil and gas, mining and events to deploy temporary power. The company says the generators are suited to a range of applications through that network.
All three models are claimed by Aggreko to provide industry-leading fuel efficiency, ultra-low emissions and significantly controlled noise levels, surpassing local requirements. The company also sees particular potential in Canada’s expanding data-centre industry. As provincial regulators look to limit how much power data-centre operators draw from the grid, Aggreko says its Tier 4 Final generators can provide off-grid energy to keep facilities operational while minimizing disruption to communities.
