Why wait when you can create? With no suitable genset inventory available, Kameron and our crew teamed up with our partners to build a 1.2MW Waukesha 7044 natural gas genset package from scratch in Halkirk, Alberta, Canada. Thanks Cape Manufacturing, Metalex, Caribou Electric, Flomax Compression, Shift Innovations & Controls and last, but certainly not least, Steve Goddard for all of your continued care. Stay tuned for startup & commissioning!

Out here today in central Alberta, it’s freezing cold—minus 25 degrees. Just a little west of here, our Bitcoin client’s site is chugging along at around 5 megawatts. About a month ago, they asked us to add another 1.2MW Waukesha 7044GSI natural gas generator. Unfortunately, there was no 1MW genset inventory that met the standard they wanted, so we couldn’t pull from that surplus power generation units. We ended up grabbing an Waukesha 7044 engine here, a cooler there, and bringing everything down to our friends at Cape Manufacturing, who have been doing an outstanding job packaging this generator package. We had to add an alternator/generator, put on a building, install a main breaker, control panel, and wire the whole genset up. We’ll be back in about a month with an update as we get closer to startup and commissioning of this generator to add to this site. It’s an exciting challenge—faced with a situation where we couldn’t pull genset inventory from our usual sources, we had to come up with a solution. We could have waited for a generator package, but instead, we created.
