**Note that price is Per Unit

This used Caterpillar CG170-12 natural gas generator is an exclusive USP&E Global asset available nowhere else on the market, offering 1.2 MW of reliable output from a 2017-manufactured generator set operating at 50 Hz and 10,500 volts. With only 140 hours of recorded runtime, this unit presents as near-new despite its used classification, making it one of the most compelling value propositions currently available in the pre-owned power generation market. Located in Asia and ready to be assessed, mobilised, and delivered, this used Caterpillar CG170-12 natural gas generator sits within USP&E's exclusive inventory of over 3,000 MW, a portfolio that includes assets owned outright, held under exclusivity, and positioned specifically for rapid deployment in frontier and emerging markets. Buyers seeking a proven, low-hours Caterpillar CG170-12 unit will find that this asset represents a rare convergence of quality manufacture, minimal wear, and exceptional availability, all backed by a company with over 150 completed power station projects across 45 countries.

The Caterpillar CG170-12 platform is engineered for continuous-duty natural gas power generation and is widely regarded as one of the most efficient gas reciprocating engine generator sets in its output class. Designed around Caterpillar's proprietary lean-burn combustion technology, the CG170-12 series achieves high electrical efficiency while maintaining low emissions, making it particularly well suited to applications where environmental compliance and operational economy must coexist. This used Caterpillar CG170-12 natural gas generator is ideal for high-efficiency Combined Heat and Power systems, where recovered exhaust and jacket water heat is redirected to serve thermal loads, dramatically improving overall site energy utilisation and lowering the cost per unit of useful energy produced. CHP system natural gas generator installations of this type are increasingly favoured in industrial facilities, district energy schemes, commercial campuses, and manufacturing plants where simultaneous electricity and heat demands make standalone generation economically inefficient. At 1.2 MW output, 50 Hz frequency, and a rated voltage of 10,500 volts, this unit is configured for direct integration into medium-voltage distribution infrastructure, minimising the transformer and switchgear complexity often associated with lower-voltage generator sets and reducing both capital expenditure and electrical losses at the point of generation. Operators considering this asset for facility backup power applications will also benefit from the unit's low hours and well-preserved mechanical condition, which translate directly into reduced commissioning risk and a longer residual service life before major overhaul intervals are reached.

USP&E Global is uniquely positioned to support buyers beyond the point of sale, offering full turnkey EPC services, installation, commissioning, operations and maintenance contracts, and long-term service agreements tailored to the asset and the site. As a leading natural gas generator set Asia EPC contractor, USP&E has successfully deployed gas reciprocating engine projects across diverse regulatory environments, climatic conditions, and grid configurations throughout Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America. Whether the requirement is a standalone facility backup power installation or a fully integrated CHP system natural gas generator scheme with heat recovery, electrical protection systems, and SCADA integration, USP&E's engineering teams bring the in-country experience and project delivery capability needed to bring assets like this Caterpillar CG170-12 to full commercial operation on schedule and within budget. USP&E's ISO 9001:2015 quality management certification and ISO 45001:2018 occupational health and safety certification ensure that every project meets internationally recognised standards, while full OFAC and FCPA compliance guarantees that buyers and host governments can engage with complete confidence in the integrity of the transaction and the operator. The company's exclusive natural gas generator set for sale inventory means that assets like this unit are not circulated through third-party brokers or accessible through competing channels; they are held under strict exclusivity arrangements that protect buyers from inflated resale margins and ensure direct access to verified technical documentation, condition reports, and provenance records. For developers, utilities, industrial operators, and government procurement bodies searching for a cost-effective, low-hours gas genset with full project delivery support, USP&E represents the single most capable partner available in the pre-owned power generation sector today.
