Diesel Generators for Emergency Municipal Power Generation

It’s essential that municipalities have a stable, reliable supply of electrical power to supply residents with the infrastructure and services that people rely on in their daily lives and pay for through their taxes. However, municipalities are just as vulnerable to power outages – manmade or natural – as homes and businesses are. This makes investing in quality power generation solutions, including diesel generators, in order to keep essential utilities running.

Power Generators

Where are the Needs for Electrical Power Highest in Municipalities? 

We all know the disruption, losses and potential dangers of our homes and businesses being left without power – when it’s municipal infrastructure that is affected, the consequences of having no electrical power can be even more severe. Areas, where critical power generation is required, include: 
  • Buildings that provide essential services – courthouses, fire stations, schools, town halls, and administrative buildings, and libraries. 
  • Utilities – power generation facilities and natural gas supplies. 
  • Water treatment and supply facilities 
  • Sewerage treatment facilities 
  • Municipal healthcare facilities, urgent care, clinics, and medical offices. 
  • Public transportation systems – trams and trains. 
  • City projects – municipal construction projects, road repair, and development projects and public works projects. 
Power Generation Solutions for Emergency Preparedness 

Manmade and natural disasters require a comprehensive, rapid emergency response from municipal services. Implementing a plan that includes the deployment of diesel generator at key points ensures that lighting and emergency systems are kept up and running for first responders, that emergency response command centers and call centers stay online, that water pumps stay operable and that temporary emergency lighting and auxiliary equipment can be kept running onsite of the emergency. 

Why Diesel Generators are the Best Municipal Power Generation Solution 

Diesel generators are exceptionally fuel-efficient, durable and powerful, making them the power generation solution of choice for commercial and industrial applications. They come in a wide range of options to suit different municipal power generation requirements, including portable generators, large-scale and small generators, and they can be run in parallel to offer greater efficiency and adaptability while meeting load requirements. Fuel is easily available, maintenance costs are low, and they can be made fully-mobile for easy access to electrical power at emergency sites, construction sites, and temporary power needs.

Usually, when people hire a generator, they know how much power they need in terms of kilowatts (kW) but not kVA. What is the Difference Between kW and kVA? kW are a unit of real power and a kW rating of diesel generators is how much power they can output based on the horsepower of the engine. Essentially, it is how much power the generator actually has. kVA is a measure of ...
