Custom 1250kVA Diesel Generator

Powering the Big Jobs: Behind the Build of a Custom 1250kVA Diesel Generator

When it comes to large-scale power requirements, there’s no room for compromise—and no such thing as a one-size-fits-all solution. That’s why Genelite’s technical team was proud to recently deliver a custom-built, ultra-silent 1250kVA diesel generator, tailored for standby backup at a regional Australian university.

Built for Scale: Designed for Quiet Operation

At 1250kVA, this unit isn’t your everyday generator—it’s an industrial-grade solution designed to keep critical infrastructure running when it matters most. For the university, that means reliable backup for essential systems including IT networks, laboratories, lecture theatres, and student accommodation.

While high-output generators often bring high noise levels, this project required something different: silence.

That’s where Genelite’s engineering team stepped in. This unit was fully designed in-house and housed in a custom ultra-silent canopy, delivering high-output performance with low-noise operation—ideal for use in campus environments where noise control is essential.

Reliable Backup Power for Education Infrastructure

With grid disruptions becoming more frequent in some regional areas, the university needed a standby power solution that could take over in seconds and keep things running without interruption.

The Genelite team delivered a turnkey package equipped with:

✅ Advanced control systems for real-time monitoring and remote diagnostics
✅ Oversized fuel tank for extended runtime between refuelling
✅ Robust weatherproofing and ventilation systems for regional climate conditions
✅ Plug-and-play compatibility for quick commissioning and future servicing

Built in Australia: Backed by Experience

Every high-capacity unit that leaves Genelite represents decades of engineering experience, deep product knowledge, and a commitment to performance. From design and fabrication to transport and on-site commissioning, this project was a team effort—and a great example of Genelite’s ability to deliver reliable, silent power at scale.
