Tailored Power for a Shopping Centre in Germany

Genesal Energy understands that every client is unique and when it comes to securing power supply in critical facilities, there’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all solution.

A key part of our work lies in listening carefully, understanding each project in depth, and designing fully customised gensets capable of meeting even the most specific requirements.

This was the case in one of our most recent projects: the design and manufacture of a generator set for a shopping centre in Germany. The client presented us with a highly specific set of technical requirements. It was an ambitious challenge, as they needed a reliable emergency power solution with clearly defined criteria regarding autonomy, aesthetics, corporate branding and weight restrictions.

The client required a high-autonomy genset, connected to a 3,000-litre belly tank fully integrated into the base frame, a design that enables the installation to operate for extended periods. Additionally, there was a strict total weight limit of 8.5 tonnes, including the fuel tank, which meant we had to completely redesign the canopy and manufacture it in aluminium to reduce weight without compromising strength or performance.

A full redesign of the canopy, which was manufactured in aluminum to reduce weight.

Accordingly, the genset was customised both functionally and aesthetically. It was painted in the client requested RAL and featured special corporate branding. From a technical perspective, the set includes an oversized alternator to ensure optimal performance under demanding conditions, a ComAp InteliGen4 200 control panel, animal ingress protection mesh, and a fully covered power section to eliminate access to live parts, among other specifications.

This project is a clear example of what we do at Genesal Energy: delivering power solutions that combine innovation, flexibility, and deep technical expertise. Whether the challenge lies in the design, available space, local regulations or visual integration, our team is always ready to respond with the best solution.

The Engineering Solution
