The used Kawasaki GPB17 natural gas turbine listed here is an exclusive USP&E Global asset, available only through USP&E's curated inventory of 3,000+ MW spanning 45+ countries. This unit, powered by the Kawasaki M1A-17D engine, delivers 1.3 MW of reliable output and was manufactured in 2017, placing it well within its productive service life and fully compliant with modern operational standards. Configured as a gas turbine generator set operating at 50 Hz and 11,000 volts, the used Kawasaki GPB17 natural gas turbine is positioned for deployment across a diverse range of applications including low-carbon and hydrogen co-firing pilot programs, oil and gas field operations, commercial and institutional buildings, industrial and manufacturing plants, and cogeneration and district energy schemes. Operating hours are to be confirmed through technical review, and USP&E's engineering team is available to facilitate full due diligence and inspection coordination. This used Kawasaki GPB17 natural gas turbine is currently located in Asia and represents a rare opportunity to secure a compact, high-efficiency aeroderivative-class machine from a manufacturer renowned for precision engineering and long-term reliability. Buyers should act quickly, as USP&E's exclusive gas turbine inventory moves rapidly and this asset will not remain available indefinitely.
Kawasaki's GPB17, built around the M1A-17D core, is one of the most respected small industrial gas turbines in its output class, engineered for high thermal efficiency, low emissions, and compact footprint, all of which make it particularly well suited to distributed generation and behind-the-fence power applications. At 1.3 MW, the used Kawasaki GPB17 natural gas turbine occupies a strategic output tier that serves facility-level baseload demand without the capital exposure of larger frame units, making it an ideal choice for industrial and manufacturing plants seeking energy independence, for commercial and institutional campuses requiring firm on-site generation, and for oil and gas operators needing dependable prime power at remote field locations. The 50 Hz configuration ensures direct compatibility with grid standards across Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Oceania, expanding the addressable market for this unit considerably. At 11,000 volts, the generator output integrates cleanly with medium-voltage distribution networks typical of industrial sites and institutional facilities, reducing the transformer infrastructure required at the point of interconnection. The unit's natural gas fuel specification also aligns with the growing global demand for lower-emission generation assets, and its technical suitability for hydrogen co-firing pilot programs positions it at the leading edge of the energy transition, making this used Kawasaki GPB17 natural gas turbine a forward-looking acquisition for any organization planning a credible decarbonization pathway. Gas turbine cogeneration CHP system configurations are among the most compelling use cases for this machine, given that aeroderivative and industrial gas turbines in the 1 to 2 MW range produce high-quality exhaust heat that can be recovered through a heat recovery steam generator or direct process heat exchanger to simultaneously satisfy thermal loads, dramatically improving overall plant efficiency and reducing the effective cost of energy delivered.
USP&E Global brings the full depth of its EPC and O&M capability to every asset transaction, and the used Kawasaki GPB17 natural gas turbine is no exception. As a turnkey power plant EPC contractor with more than 150 completed power station projects across frontier and emerging markets, USP&E is uniquely positioned to take a buyer from initial asset acquisition through civil works, mechanical installation, electrical integration, fuel system design, commissioning, and grid synchronization, delivering a fully operational power station rather than simply a piece of equipment. For clients operating in remote or infrastructure-constrained environments, USP&E's power station O&M frontier markets capability means that operational support, preventive maintenance scheduling, spare parts management, long-term service agreements, and performance optimization can be packaged alongside the asset itself, providing continuity of performance and protection of capital investment across the full project lifecycle. USP&E holds ISO 9001:2015 certification for quality management and ISO 45001:2018 certification for occupational health and safety, ensuring that every EPC and O&M engagement meets internationally recognized standards for process integrity and workforce protection. The company is also 100% OFAC and FCPA compliant, which is a critical assurance for developers, utilities, and financiers operating across complex regulatory jurisdictions. Whether this used Kawasaki GPB17 natural gas turbine is destined for a gas turbine cogeneration CHP system at an industrial facility, a distributed generation project at a commercial campus, or a power quality and resilience solution at an oil and gas field operation, USP&E has the engineering, logistics, and field execution expertise to deliver the complete solution, not just the hardware. The exclusive gas turbine inventory at USP&E Global includes assets across a wide range of output classes, fuel types, and configurations, and the company's team can assist buyers in identifying complementary units or redundancy solutions where project scope requires additional capacity.
This is a time-sensitive opportunity. The used Kawasaki GPB17 natural gas turbine is exclusively available through USP&E Global and will not be found in any other power equipment marketplace.
