Delivering electricity where it’s needed most
Power barges – emergency power wherever and whenever it is required
Bringing energy to the rescue
Our power barges provide rapid assistance when energy is needed at short notice, or in areas lacking the resources for land-based power plants.
Remote, difficult-to-reach areas often call for unique and flexible power generation solutions. The same goes for places impacted by natural disasters, and regions with damaged or no infrastructure. Sudden demands for critical energy require a rapid response. We have the answer.
Power barges are self-contained, floating power plants that operate independently of local resources or infrastructure. Quick to deploy, they are ideal for providing energy to coastal regions and harbors, or sites near rivers. These mobile units are very flexible and adaptable, representing minimum risks to operators and major profits.
Bringing mobility to energy
Sophisticated power barges are mobile, customizable and a great investment.
MAN Energy Solutions supplies the components necessary to develop efficient power barge solutions. They are available with all diesel and gas engines from our portfolio. We implement our tried-and-tested power plant systems on a floating box structure, maintaining the standard spacing between engines to simplify maintenance and ensure reliable operation. These low-risk mobile assets are easily financed and have short delivery times, allowing for a quick return on investment.
How you benefit:
- Mobile energy, quick delivery wherever needed
- Fast-start and dynamic capability
- High efficiency, low emissions
- Multi-fuel capability
- Excellent return on investment
