I Power Adds Emergency Stand-by Generators to Product Line

August 14, 2006 by Jeff Shepard

I Power Energy Systems has developed and delivered a line of Combined Heat and Power (CHP) prime power units and has expanded product lines to include stand-by generators for emergency and peak-demand availability (peak shaving). The new EnergyNow™ generator sets convert natural gas to electric power for peak shaving or stand-by applications, such as for commercial or industrial, hospitals and homeland security-related facilities.

I Power's COO Terry Pahls announced the new applications of I Power Technology: "We want to be very clear that this application of our durability, emissions and low-noise technologies is an addition to our CHP prime power units.

I Power Chairman Michael Hudson noted, "During my years in the large gas turbine business, we helped the large grids with peaking units at critical points in the distribution systems. The use of I Power units places the blackout solution directly at the point of the individual user's requirement to protect their activities and investments. Protection from power outages is one of the best insurance measures a business owner can install. It's much more cost efficient to eliminate the major cause of perishable loss and lost revenues than try to negotiate claims with your insurance adjuster. In fact, we are planning to meet with major insurers to discuss possible policy rate reductions for certain I Power commercial applications that will experience significantly reduced risks with reliable I Power Energy System."
