en.Wedoany.com Reported - Coates is significantly expanding its fleet of large containerized generators (750–1250kVA) across Australia to support construction and infrastructure projects, with plans to double its high-capacity generator fleet this year and further investments in FY27.
Kurt Edwards, Coates Group Manager – Power & HVAC, stated that over the next 12 months, the company will effectively triple its existing high-output generator fleet, ensuring customers have access to reliable, scalable power. This investment aims to meet the growing demand for reliable large-capacity temporary power in sectors such as construction, mining, heavy industry, and utilities, particularly in grid-constrained areas, during shutdowns, and critical maintenance windows where any downtime is unacceptable.
Kurt Edwards noted that the new generators give customers confidence that, regardless of site, scale, or conditions, Coates can deliver safe, reliable, and fully supported power solutions for complex, high-demand environments. Coates currently offers a range of large-capacity diesel generators, including 500kVA, 650kVA, and 1250kVA containerized units, along with services such as system design, installation, project management, refueling, transport, maintenance, remote monitoring, and 24/7 on-call support.
The expanded fleet of 750kVA, 800kVA, 1000kVA, and 1250kVA units further enhances this capability, particularly for large industrial, commercial, or utility applications requiring synchronized multi-unit systems to support critical loads, provide prime or standby power, and maintain operations during power outages or emergencies.
The new generators are designed and built to Coates' specifications for performance and durability under Australia's demanding conditions. Key features include prime power rating with overload capability, 110% fully bunded integral fuel tank, 40°C ambient capability (derated to 50°C), noise reduction (most rated at 67 dBA or lower at 7 meters), synchronization controllers, compatibility with B5-B20 biodiesel blends, and mine-spec construction suitable for mining, heavy industry, and remote sites.
The containerized generators feature modular design for easy transport and integration, quieter operation, higher fuel efficiency, hybrid integration options, reduced operating costs, plug-and-play connectivity, and full compliance with Australian standards. Kurt Edwards stated that whether for planned shutdowns, remote construction projects, or emergency response at sensitive facilities, customers expect generators to provide reliable temporary power. With more large generators available for rent across Coates' national branch network, the company can respond quickly and scale operations as needed.
As Australia accelerates its transition to clean energy, large diesel generators remain essential temporary infrastructure, serving as a safety net to keep hospitals, telecommunications, industrial plants, and digital infrastructure online when the grid is unavailable, delayed, or unstable. Kurt Edwards believes that large generators are a key component of energy resilience, providing customers with the reliability and independence needed when the grid is unavailable or unstable.
