IPPs & Utilities
Efficient, reliable power is fundamental to growth.
Electricity remains essential for independent power producers (IPPs), utility companies, municipalities, manufacturers, and industrial operations. Meeting their critical energy needs requires solutions that combine reliability, efficiency, and flexibility.
Our dedicated Jenbacher experts are available to provide personal consultation.
INNIO Group’s Jenbacher engines are designed to support distributed power generation, helping organizations address diverse operational requirements while adapting to evolving energy landscapes.
Jenbacher engines provide robust performance in a wide range of applications, including power generation, cogeneration/combined heat and power (CHP), municipal services, and grid support in combination with renewables. With containerized, ready-to-use packages, Jenbacher technology enables rapid deployment and simplified installation, supporting both new projects and upgrades to existing infrastructure.
Real-world application
This approach delivers results. For example, the Dettenhausen municipal utility in Germany operates a Jenbacher CHP plant that supplies electricity and heat to local residents and businesses. The plant’s flexible operation supports both base load and peak demand, contributing to grid stability and energy security. With proven electrical efficiency yields of up to 48% and total CHP system efficiencies as high as 90%, Jenbacher solutions help IPPs and utilities achieve reliable performance and lower emissions compared to conventional technologies.
The Jenbacher solution
INNIO’s distributed power portfolio is engineered for application flexibility. Jenbacher engines are available in a range of outputs, from 250 kW to 10 MW per unit, and can be combined for larger installations. Modular design simplifies maintenance and supports scalability, while compact footprints help reduce space requirements. Decades of on-site operational experience further contribute to the reliability and resilience of Jenbacher technology in demanding environments.
Digital support with myplant
To enhance operational transparency and asset management, INNIO’s myplant digital platform offers remote monitoring and support. With the myplant solution, businesses can engine performance, improve planning, and increase asset availability, supporting longer equipment life and efficient operation.
By integrating proven Jenbacher technology with advanced digital support, IPPs and utilities can deliver dependable power, respond to changing market needs, and contribute to a cleaner energy future.
