Genesal Energy celebrates 15 years of presence in the Peruvian market, one of the most significant milestones in our international expansion strategy.

Since entering the Andean country, we have supported strategic sectors such as mining, construction, infrastructure, agro-industry and manufacturing, delivering power solutions tailored to high-demand operating environments.
Our establishment in Peru, initiated fifteen years ago, represented Genesal Energy’s first step into Latin America. This strategic decision responded to the country’s sustained economic growth and the increasing need for reliable energy solutions in projects where operational continuity is critical.

Over the past 15 years, the Genesal Energy Peru team has been involved in large-scale, technically complex projects, including the modernisation of the Talara Refinery, the construction of hospital infrastructure in Caraz, the expansion of Jorge Chávez International Airport, and industrial projects for companies such as UNACEM and QUIMPAC. In mining and agro-industry, the company has supported operations in regions including Piura, Huaraz and Moquegua, strengthening its position in key sectors of the Peruvian economy.

Our establishment in Peru, initiated fifteen years ago, represented Genesal Energy’s first step into Latin America.

This trajectory has enabled the integration of engineering developed in Spain with local operational expertise, combining European design and manufacturing standards with adaptation to variables such as altitude, climate and intensive operating conditions. The result is a model that brings together global technological backing and on-site execution capability.

15th Anniversary Special Series

To mark this anniversary, Genesal Energy Peru has launched the 15th Anniversary Special Series, incorporating a new fleet of generator sets as part of an international operational expansion. This fleet, visually identified in yellow as a commemorative edition, strengthens the subsidiary’s rental capacity and nationwide coverage, particularly in strategically important northern regions of the country.

As the year draws to a close, it invites us to look back with pride and forward with ambition. A period of consolidation, learning and decision-making that has shaped our path. At Genesal Energy, we have continued to move forward with the same determination that has guided us since the beginning: to innovate, to grow and to contribute to a more sustainable energy model, helping to improve society.

That spirit has guided us through every project and every challenge we have faced over these months. And it is precisely from that purpose that we have strengthened our international vocation, driven sustainability through engineering, responded swiftly to emergency situations when the country was left in the dark, and consolidated our presence in key sectors such as data centres and defence.

The blackout: readiness to respond to any emergency

The major blackout on 28 April put the entire sector’s response capacity to the test — and, in particular, that of Genesal Energy. From our headquarters in Bergondo, we activated a crisis management team that made it possible to guarantee electricity supply to hospitals and other critical infrastructures. Our generator sets operated at full capacity, while our technical team worked around the clock to ensure that no vital facility was left without power.

Thanks to this rapid response and coordination, we supported centres such as CHUAC, the Teresa Herrera Maternal and Children’s Hospital, Álvaro Cunqueiro Hospital, as well as several hospitals in Madrid and Toledo, among others. Subsequent media coverage highlighted the essential role of backup power solutions in long-duration contingencies.
There are moments when technology speaks for itself. At other times, it is the commitment of a team that speaks. That day, both did.

In a geopolitical context marked by instability and sustained growth in defence investment across Europe, energy reliability has become a critical factor in ensuring the operability of strategic infrastructures.

We will continue investing in growth with a new expansion of our main factory, increasing production capacity and activity at a pace similar to that of 2025.

Within this environment, the engineering expertise and robustness of our equipment have found a natural space. In 2025, we deployed bespoke solutions designed to operate under extreme conditions, both domestically and internationally, including installations in Germany aimed at maintaining critical military infrastructures operational. These projects demonstrate our ability to adapt designs, advanced protections and safety systems to top-tier operational requirements.

Likewise, our participation in strategic trade fairs and forums such as FEINDEF has strengthened our visibility in a rapidly evolving market. As a result, Genesal Energy continues to consolidate its position as a trusted supplier, delivering solutions to organisations that require equipment capable of ensuring continuous power in any scenario — from logistics bases to command centres and field operations.

The digital world cannot function without reliable energy. In 2025, we took a decisive step to support this global growth with solutions equal to the challenge. As an active part of European engineering in the sector, our strategic alliance with the French company Baudouin marked a turning point in our commitment to data centres: combining experience, technology and a shared vision to deliver high-capacity, fully customisable generator sets, with the shortest lead times on the market and compatibility with renewable fuels such as HVO.

A period of consolidation, learning and decision-making that has shaped our path.

We showcased these solutions at international forums — with a strong presence at DCD>Connect in Madrid and London, as well as at the DataCenter Forum in Stockholm — where we presented equipment focused on operational continuity, efficiency and the transition towards more sustainable fuels.

HVO: proof that the energy transition can be real — today

The successful validation of HVO as a biofuel in operational generator sets is another of those quiet achievements that anticipate the future. We demonstrated that it is possible to reduce emissions without changing infrastructures or compromising reliability. The tests we carried out confirm that HVO is a technically viable alternative for diesel engines, requiring no modifications to existing infrastructures, while preserving reliability and service continuity.

PROJECT CO-FINANCED BY THE XUNTA DE GALICIA

Genesal Energy raises a toast to “energy that thinks about the future”

Genesal Energy looks to the future with determination and enthusiasm, promoting projects that combine innovation, sustainability and knowledge. This year we have taken key steps towards a future that will be marked by the constant development of technology and energy transition. Namely, we have tested sustainable fuels in our generator sets, developed our own hydrogen electrolyser, and made our social commitment clear with the creation of the Genesal Energy Foundation.

We have increased our turnover by 15% in 2024.

Without a doubt, 2024 has been a year to celebrate: the challenges and goals achieved, the joint effort of those who are part of Genesal Energy, our 30th anniversary, each customised project done with care and attention. Every step brings us closer to a brighter, more efficient and responsible future.

Three decades after our founding, Genesal Energy keeps growing every year, and reaching in 2024 a turnover of 27 million euros as a business group. At a time of changes in the distributed energy sector, we look to the future with the security that comes from experience.

The data centre sector, a manageable challenge

Data Processing Centres – which are driving digital transformation at a global level – are a market in continuous growth which demands precision, reliability and adaptability. This year has been key to consolidating our position as a benchmark in energy solutions for this type of critical facility.
Data center with advanced technology.

We attended the Data Centre World in London, one of the most important trade fairs in the sector, where we presented our latest innovations in generator sets designed to ensure maximum reliability and sustainability. For two days, at the leading forum for data centre professionals, we shared our cutting-edge solutions adapted to the most demanding standards.

We also organised an event in Madrid, where data centre experts enjoyed training talks, networking and special activities in collaboration with leading engine manufacturers such as Baudouin.

These actions reinforce our vocation to always be close to our customers and professionals in the sector, offering them tailor-made solutions that guarantee the best energy performance.

Technological innovation and sustainability

2024 was also the year of major advances on our path towards a more sustainable future, with key projects such as the integration of Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil into our gensets.

HVO, a second-generation biofuel, is obtained from raw materials as simple as used cooking oil and its possibilities are immense.

It lasts up to ten times longer than diesel and its performance is maintained at extreme temperatures, also lowering the carbon footprint.
Sustainable HVO biofuel.
Moreover, the commitment to Hydrogen is becoming more and more tangible. Through the H2OG project, we are developing hydrogen production equipment – our own electrolyser -. In the medium term, this knowledge will lay the foundations for the optimal integration of this energy vector into our management and storage system. In addition, it will also provide us with the keys to ensure that our generator sets run on this fuel.

This project began with the design of a small-scale electrolyser, which allows us to validate its operation and guarantee the expected results. Before building the final, larger equipment, it is allowing us to solve not anticipated problems before its final integration into the production system. This, in turn, results in cost reductions.

Technological innovation continued with the implementation of projects such as the creation of an augmented reality application that enhances the customer experience by allowing them to visualise and explore generator sets ‘in situ’ in a virtual environment.

Commitment to the future: from The Chair to Genesal Foundation

Sustainability and technological progress have always guided our vision, and we reaffirm our values through the initiatives of the Energy Transition Chair, culminating in the creation of the Genesal Energy Foundation, which will mark a new stage in our social work.

From the Chair, we have developed meetings such as the Seminar on the Corporate Carbon Footprint for SMEs and the Sustainable Fuels Seminar, spaces designed to promote knowledge and provide tools that promote the energy transition. We also organised the third edition of the award for the Best Final Degree or Master’s Project in Energy Transition, supporting young talent and innovative ideas that will shape the future of the sector.
