【 Power Barge 】
A Power Barge refers to the power plant located in a special ship, which can supply electricity, heat and fresh water for natural disasters, offshore operations hard to be covered by the power grid, and remote areas. It is applicable to coastal areas and river basins.
Sometimes, a Power Barge can be the best and quickest solution when electrical energy is needed on short notice in remote areas or areas struck by natural disaster. The land-based resources needed to construct a power station may not be available, and transport over water may be the only way to get large equipment to the site.
A Power Barge can be entirely self-contained and can installed relatively quickly at any locations accessible by water such as harbors, coastal regions or sites near rivers for supplying critically needed electricity independently of local resources or infrastructure.
Our Power Barges are offered with all of our diesel and gas generator sets from 2 MW to 21 MW.
