The Spanish company Genesal Energy has successfully developed and integrated a customized power generation system to ensure the uninterrupted operation of a drinking water treatment plant on an island of Noruega during this month of February 2026.
Cutting-edge technology for remote environments
The project, executed from its headquarters in Bergondo (A Coruña), has consisted of the design and manufacture of a special container that integrates a high precision generator setThis system supplies power to an autonomous water generation unit, allowing it to operate completely independently of the Norwegian national electricity grid.
The technical solution is designed to work safely in isolated geographical environments and under highly demanding climatic conditions, where energy availability is a critical factor for the survival and well-being of the local community.
| Technical specification | Project Details |
|---|---|
| Prime Power / Standby | 110 kVA / 110 kVA |
| Tank Capacity | 1.000 liters |
| Continuous Autonomy | More than 24 hours |
| Location | Island environment, Noruega |
Engineering challenges and compact integration
The engineering team of Genesal Energy It addressed three fundamental requirements for the successful internationalization of this service: maximum security of supplyHigh autonomy and extremely compact integration. The main challenge was fitting an open unit with a large-capacity tank into a small space within the water treatment container.
- Thermal resistance: Specific interior insulation for low temperatures in the control zone.
- Cold start: Engine coolant recirculation and heating system.
- Optimized maintenance: Strategic redistribution of components to facilitate operation in minimal spaces.
Explains José Manuel Fernández, CEO y CCO de Genesal Energy: Developing energy solutions for such crucial projects always presents a significant technical and human challenge. We have had to adapt our technology to demanding climatic conditions to ensure a direct impact on sustainability and well-being.
Key points and frequently asked questions about the project in Norway
What level of autonomy does this system offer?
The system has an integrated 1.000-liter tank that allows continuous operation for more than 24 hours, guaranteeing the supply of drinking water without depending on external sources.
How does the equipment adapt to the arctic climate?
The unit includes an engine coolant heating system and special thermal insulation, ensuring optimal start-up and stable operation even in the freezing temperatures of the Norwegian coast.
What is Genesal Energy's main differentiating value in this contract?
The ability to perform an integration "tailor-made" in a very small space, allowing the power generation system and the water treatment plant to safely share the same container.
