Generators for Cities & Municipalities
Power your community through any crisis. Our robust generator solutions ensure water treatment plants, emergency services, and public buildings stay online, designed for municipal planners and utility managers.

Which Generators Power Cities and Municipalities?
Choosing the right generator size is critical for maintaining uninterrupted power to your city’s essential services. Based on industry standards and our extensive sales data, here’s how generator sizes align with municipal needs:
Small Municipal Operations (20-200kW)
Perfect for powering small public buildings, fire stations, toll stations, and police stations. A 150 kW Kohler or Cummins is perfect for reliable performance.
Medium Municipal Operations (200-600kW)
Suitable for mid-sized cities with water treatment plants or fire stations. A 500 kW Cummins supports water pumps and emergency services.
Large Municipal Operations (600kW+)
Essential for major cities with critical infrastructure. A 2000 kW MTU ensures city-wide utilities and large public buildings stay operational.
