Backup Power
The Spanish company Genesal Energy has installed two 2.035 kVA generator sets at a hospital in the United Kingdom. The project guarantees an uninterrupted power supply to critical areas such as operating rooms and the ICU, protecting patient safety and the operational continuity of the hospital.
The Spanish company Genesal Energy has designed, supplied and installed two emergency generator sets 2.035 kVA each in a hospital of Reino Unidoproviding complete energy backup for the most critical areas of the healthcare facility. This key project ensures the continuity of medical services in an environment where reliable power supply is of paramount importance.
The main objective of the installation is to ensure that all critical hospital systems, including operating rooms, intensive care units (ICUs) and diagnostic imaging equipment, operate without interruption in the event of any failure in the main electrical network, thus avoiding any risk to medical care and patient safety.
A custom-engineered solution for a critical environment
The hospital presented complex technical requirements, such as the need to adapt to the building's specific construction features and a large number of power cables. To meet this challenge, the Galician firm developed a custom engineering solution: A power cabinet integrated into the base of the generator sets. This design allows for overhead cable entry and offers front and top access, which significantly simplifies connection, inspection, and maintenance tasks without interfering with the daily operation of the facility.
"Every hospital is a critical environment where energy reliability is literally a matter of life or death," he explains. José Manuel Fernández, co-CEO of Genesal Energy"This project demonstrates our ability to offer fully customized solutions that guarantee continuous power in the most demanding environments. Our generator sets combine full redundancy, accessibility, and intelligent design, ensuring that vital equipment never stops," he emphasizes.
To ensure maximum reliability, each generator set has redundant starting systems, batteries and chargersManaged by an automatic control system that allows for fully autonomous operation, the units are equipped with 3.000 A withdrawable circuit breakers, 2.500 W heating systems with a recirculation pump, and redundant batteries with modules. VictronThis configuration ensures an immediate response time and parallel operation that balances the load, preventing any interruption of supply.

Coordination and logistics: keys to international success
The project presented a significant technical and logistical challenge due to the stringent safety and continuity requirements of the healthcare sector. Precise coordination between the design and manufacturing phases at the headquarters of Bergondo (A Coruña), installation and commissioning was fundamental to ensuring that the equipment functions optimally and can withstand critical loads for extended periods.
With this installation, Genesal Energy This strengthens its international track record in critical infrastructure projects, consolidating its reputation as a provider of customized energy solutions. The company, which achieved a turnover of €35 million in 2025, thus demonstrates its ability to respond to the most demanding environments. "Projects like this reinforce our technical expertise and confirm that our roadmap is on the right track," the company concludes. José Manuel Fernández.
