Rapid Power Generation Launches New Natural Gas-Fuelled Generator Range

Rapid Power Generation Ltd has entered the gas-fuelled generator market with the launch of a new partnership with Pramac-Generac.

The new agreement will see the company act as sole distributors of the Pramac industrial gas range of generators for the whole of Ireland.

Recognising the increase in demand for sustainable energy, the company has expanded its current product range of diesel powered generators to include natural gas-fuelled generator sets for standby and prime power use.

POWERED BY PROVEN TECHNOLOGY FROM GENERAC®

The Pramac industrial gas range uses proven technology from Generac® industrial spark ignited engines. Optimised for performance and responsiveness to load variations, and combined with modular design from Pramac, the new gas sets offer integrated control technology for ultimate flexibility, scalability and reliability for crucial loads.

GAS-FUELLED GENERATORS OFFER NUMEROUS ADVANTAGES

Gas-fuelled generators offer numerous advantages, including, faster and more cost-effective commissioning, extended run-time and increased power density. Environmental benefits include low noise output, no black smoke on start up or load change, low NOx, CO2 and virtually no particle matter emissions, ensuring MCPD compliance.


PRAMAC-GENERAC, ONE OF THE WORLD'S LARGEST POWER GENERATION GROUPS

Established in 1966 and headquartered in Siena, Italy, Pramac produces and sells power generation systems and material handling equipment primarily under the Pramac and Lifter by Pramac brands. The company seeks constant improvement in design, manufacturing and installation of its complete range of portable, mobile and stationary generators products. Pramac offers tailored power solutions that can be adapted to every specific requirement.

Pramac manufactures portable, mobile and stationary generators up to 4MVA, and exceeds the needs of many industries, including but not limited to, commerce, power plants, transportation, telecommunications, events, automotive, mining industry, tower lights and rental.

With the aim of pursuing further growth opportunities in the global power generation market, in 2016 Pramac signed an agreement with Generac® – a North American power generation market leader. Together, the two companies have a combined total of 4,000 employees and are the world’s third largest power generation group.
