60 Hz; 690 Volts

Units available: 5
**Note that price is Per Unit

The new Caterpillar 3516C natural gas generator listed exclusively through USP&E Global represents one of the most capable and versatile reciprocating generator sets available in the market today. This unit is a 2016-vintage, zero-hour machine in new condition, rated at 1.5 MW, configured for 60 Hz operation at 690 volts, and fuelled entirely by natural gas. Located in Asia, this new Caterpillar 3516C natural gas generator is available exclusively through USP&E Global and cannot be sourced through any other channel. Its zero-hour status means a buyer receives all the performance and longevity of a factory-fresh asset without the lead times or premium pricing associated with a new OEM order. Designed for continuous and baseload power applications, as well as combined heat and power, coal mine methane, biogas, facility emergency standby, and peak shaving duties, this machine covers an exceptionally wide range of deployment scenarios. Exclusive inventory of this quality and condition is precisely what separates USP&E from every other power equipment supplier operating in global markets today.

The Caterpillar 3516C platform is one of the most field-proven large reciprocating engine designs in commercial and industrial power generation history. At 1.5 MW, this generator set sits in a capacity range that is ideal for industrial facilities, mining operations, remote baseload installations, and distributed energy projects requiring reliable, continuous output from a single machine. Operating at 60 Hz and 690 volts, this new Caterpillar 3516C natural gas generator is immediately suitable for North American standard grid-tied and island-mode applications, as well as any project globally where 60 Hz power is specified. The CHP cogeneration generator set configuration makes this unit particularly attractive for projects seeking to recover waste heat alongside electrical output, substantially improving overall fuel utilisation efficiency and reducing the cost per unit of energy delivered to the facility. Industrial parks, food processing plants, hospitals, data centres, and large commercial campuses are all candidate hosts for a CHP cogeneration generator set of this capacity and specification. For operations generating their own fuel streams, the biogas generator for continuous power application is equally well suited, and coal mine methane power generation projects benefit directly from the 3516C's ability to operate on lower-quality, variable-composition fuel gases. Its robust engine architecture tolerates fluctuations in methane content that would compromise less capable machines, making coal mine methane power generation an area where this asset delivers measurable operational advantages over alternatives.

USP&E Global is positioned to deliver this asset as part of a fully integrated turnkey solution, not merely as an equipment sale. As a turnkey power plant EPC contractor with more than 150 completed power station projects across more than 45 countries, USP&E brings engineering, procurement, construction, installation, commissioning, and long-term service agreement capability to every asset transaction. Buyers in frontier and emerging markets benefit particularly from USP&E's power station O&M frontier markets expertise, which covers everything from site preparation and civil works through to grid synchronisation, operator training, preventive maintenance scheduling, and ongoing performance optimisation under a formal operations and maintenance contract. ISO 9001:2015 quality management certification and ISO 45001:2018 occupational health and safety certification underpin every project USP&E delivers, giving clients confidence that EPC execution and O&M performance meet internationally recognised benchmarks. Full OFAC and FCPA compliance means USP&E operates with complete regulatory integrity in every jurisdiction, a critical consideration for project finance institutions, development banks, and government counterparties evaluating equipment suppliers for infrastructure projects. Whether the buyer requires this new Caterpillar 3516C natural gas generator as a standalone generation asset or as the core generating unit within a larger plant configuration, USP&E has the engineering depth and project delivery track record to take the project from initial feasibility through to commercial operation and sustained long-term performance.

This new Caterpillar 3516C natural gas generator, in zero-hour new condition, available from Asia and listed exclusively with USP&E Global under stock number USP010702, represents a rare opportunity to acquire a premium-grade 1.5 MW generation asset without OEM lead times. Buyers seeking a CHP cogeneration generator set, a biogas generator for continuous power, or a unit suited to coal mine methane power generation will find no better-specified or better-supported option in the current market.
