USP&E is selling: 1.5 MW 2022 New Caterpillar CG170-16 Natural Gas Generator Sets
50 Hz; 400 Volts
Units available: 2
**Note that price is Per Unit
The new Caterpillar CG170-16 natural gas generator listed here is a 2022, zero-hours, factory-condition unit delivering 1.5 MW at 50 Hz and 400 V, available exclusively through USP&E Global and not findable through any other supplier at this specification and location. Positioned in Asia and ready for immediate mobilisation, this new Caterpillar CG170-16 natural gas generator represents one of the cleanest and most deployment-ready assets in USP&E's exclusive inventory of over 3,000 MW spanning 45 countries. With zero operating hours recorded and a 2022 manufacture date, this unit has never been commissioned, making it an exceptionally rare find for project developers, utilities, and industrial operators who require a brand-new prime mover without the lead time or cost of an OEM order. The new Caterpillar CG170-16 natural gas generator is engineered for reliable backup power, peak shaving, and combined heat and power applications across commercial, industrial, and remote off-grid environments, and USP&E holds exclusivity on this asset, meaning buyers cannot source it elsewhere. Stock number USP010819 is catalogued, verified, and available for fast-quote processing today.
Caterpillar's CG170-16 platform is a sixteen-cylinder lean-burn gas engine generator set built on the company's proven CG170 engine series, a product line designed for continuous and standby operation in demanding environments where fuel efficiency, low emissions, and high reliability are non-negotiable. At 1.5 MW output, the new Caterpillar CG170-16 natural gas generator sits in a capacity class that is highly versatile, capable of operating as a standalone prime power source for off-grid industrial sites, mining operations, agricultural processing facilities, and remote communities, or as part of a modular multi-unit array for larger grid-connected or microgrid projects. The 50 Hz frequency and 400 V output align this unit with power infrastructure standards across Asia, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Oceania, broadening its deployment potential considerably. As a natural gas generator for CHP applications, the CG170-16 is particularly well suited to facilities that wish to recover waste heat from the engine jacket and exhaust stream for process heating, space heating, or absorption cooling, dramatically improving total system efficiency and reducing fuel cost per unit of useful energy delivered. For operators pursuing peak shaving strategies, this peak shaving natural gas genset can be brought online during periods of high grid tariff or high demand to reduce electricity costs and smooth load profiles, generating measurable savings from the first month of operation. For developers building distributed power infrastructure in markets where grid access is unreliable or absent, this off-grid natural gas power solution provides a self-contained, fuel-flexible, and emissions-conscious alternative to diesel generation.
USP&E Global is not simply a vendor offering an asset and a bill of sale. With over 150 completed power station projects across more than 45 countries, ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 certification, and full 100 percent OFAC and FCPA compliance, USP&E operates as a full-spectrum turnkey power plant EPC contractor capable of taking this new Caterpillar CG170-16 natural gas generator from procurement through site preparation, civil and electrical engineering, mechanical installation, grid synchronisation, load testing, and final commissioning. That means a buyer does not need to source a separate engineering firm, a separate commissioning team, or a separate compliance advisor. USP&E handles the entire scope under a single contract, reducing project risk, compressing timelines, and providing a single point of accountability from asset acquisition through to energisation. Beyond commissioning, USP&E offers ongoing natural gas generator O&M in frontier markets where local technical capacity may be limited, providing preventive maintenance programs, spare parts logistics, remote monitoring, and long-term service agreements that protect asset availability and extend operational lifespan. This O&M capability is purpose-built for the kinds of environments, remote, politically complex, and infrastructure-sparse, where the CG170-16 is most likely to be deployed, and it reflects USP&E's foundational ethos captured in the company tagline: Powering Possibility, Built for the Frontier. Whether the project is a captive power plant for an industrial anchor load, a grid-injection facility for a utility, or a containerised off-grid power solution for a resource extraction site, USP&E brings the engineering depth, the compliance framework, and the in-country execution experience to deliver it on time and within specification.
