Natural Gas Standby Generator Sets with Fast Response
The uncertainties of events that cause power outages and unexpectedly disrupt electricity have caused many businesses to invest in Cat® natural gas standby generator sets as backup power systems because of the gensets' response in delivering dependable backup power without compromising performance, protecting investments and peace of mind.
From natural disasters to unplanned power outages, the industry-leading design of Cat gas standby generator sets enables them to provide backup power when the grid no longer can or when diesel fuel is not available or advantageous. Our gas standby power generators can easily be equipped for peak shaving, significantly reducing your utility costs. And with longer maintenance intervals, they’re ideal for powering through extended outages without interruption. In applications where initial cost considerations are a concern, gas standby generators have proven a long-term cost advantage as a result of their lower operating costs.
