Rand-Air has purchased four Atlas Copco TwinPower generators, with two 550 kVA generators in each container. This containerised generator solution gives a very compact footprint, unrivalled versatility, optimised performance and excellent fuel economy in demanding modular power plant (MPP) applications. In addition, the two modules inside the container can be synchronised so that it is possible to supply either 1100 or 550 kVA; a versatile and portable cost- and fuel-saving option for the customer.

The footprint of the container is smaller than two individual 550 kVA generators; and having the generators in containers protects them against extreme weather conditions. The company is able to supply the TwinPower solution to a wide geographic area. Such generators are hired by mines, petrochemical and other industrial customers, as well as by  municipalities and power utilities to ensure a reliable supply of electricity.
