Delivering reliable power to a high-rise building is no small task, especially when the generator sits 40 storeys above ground.

Genelite recently completed the supply and delivery of a 320 kVA natural gas-driven generator powered by a Cummins KN19 engine, installed on the rooftop of a new 40-storey apartment complex on the Gold Coast. The system provides dependable standby power to 110 apartments, ensuring continuity of essential services in the event of a grid outage.
Engineering Power for the Sky
Installing a generator of this capacity in a high-rise environment required detailed coordination and planning. From logistics and craning to compliance and safety, Genelite’s engineering and project teams worked closely with the client and contractors to deliver a solution that balanced performance, footprint, and reliability.
The 320 kVA natural gas unit offers a sustainable and efficient alternative to traditional diesel standby systems, delivering reduced emissions and quieter operation while maintaining the power density required for a building of this scale.
Seamless Power During Installation
To maintain uninterrupted power during the installation and commissioning process, the site was temporarily supplied with a hired generator through GeneRent, ensuring the tower crane was functional without relying on mains power.
A Collaborative Effort in Reliable Power
From initial design and logistics through to delivery and on-site integration, this project demonstrates Genelite’s ability to provide complete turnkey power solutions, even in complex urban environments.
With local assembly, engineering expertise, and over 30 years of experience in the power generation industry, Genelite continues to support Australia’s growing infrastructure with reliable, efficient, and site-specific energy solutions.
