Gas Reciprocating Power Plants 1400 kW
1750 kWA
For facilities with high and stable electricity demand, a power source capable of continuous 24/7 operation and predictable operating costs is required. Gas-fired generation with a capacity of approximately 1.4 MW meets the needs of large industrial and infrastructure facilities without dependence on external power grids.
Such solutions are widely used:
- at large-scale mining clusters;
- at municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills and waste treatment facilities;
- in the oil & gas, chemical, and metallurgical industries;
- at production sites with continuous process cycles.
We select equipment based on actual operating conditions, not nominal datasheet values.
Economic Efficiency and Operating Modes
Under continuous base load conditions, power plants in this capacity range significantly reduce the cost of generated electricity.
Key operational characteristics:
- stable 24/7 operation without power derating;
- specific gas consumption averaging 0.29–0.31 m³/kWh;
- engine service life of up to 50,000 operating hours with scheduled maintenance;
- integration capability with existing power plants and energy centers;
- support for parallel operation of multiple generating units.
The equipment can also be deployed as part of cogeneration systems with heat recovery.
Cogeneration and Additional Value
By utilizing the thermal energy released during engine operation, the facility gains:
- hot water or steam for technological processes;
- space heating for industrial buildings;
- overall reduction in total energy expenditure.
Thermal output in cogeneration mode can reach up to 1,500 kW, making this solution particularly effective for processing and manufacturing facilities.
Manufacturers and Application Approaches

Jenbacher – Designed for continuous operation under heavy-duty conditions. Applied in energy centers and projects with maximum requirements for reliability and engine lifetime.
Jichai – Versatile solutions for industrial and processing facilities. Well suited for projects with planned capacity expansion and scalable power architecture.
Configuration Options and Delivery Formats
The equipment can be supplied:
- in containerized configuration for outdoor installation;
- in stationary configuration for engine halls;
- as part of integrated energy centers.
Optional supply includes automation systems for remote monitoring and dispatch control.
Where are 1,400 kW power plants typically used?
These units are deployed at high-energy-demand facilities such as mining clusters, industrial plants, waste processing sites, and oil & gas facilities. They are suitable both as a primary power source and for grid backup.
Can the unit be used as a primary power supply?
Yes. The equipment is designed for continuous operation and can fully replace external grid supply provided that a stable gas source is available.
What type of gas is used?
Natural pipeline gas is most commonly used. In certain projects, associated gas or treated biogas may also be applied—operating parameters are calculated individually.
How does gas generation compare economically to diesel?
Under continuous load conditions, fuel cost savings can reach 30–35%. Additional benefits are achieved through cogeneration and lower maintenance costs.
How is regional delivery organized?
We provide delivery across the entire territory of Russia, including remote and hard-to-access regions, with full logistics coordination and project support.
Is future capacity scaling possible?
Yes. The equipment can be easily integrated into cascade systems, allowing total capacity to be increased as business demand grows.
