50 Hz; 400 Volts; 1500 RPM

Units available: 1
**Note that price is Per Unit

This used Caterpillar G3516 natural gas generator is a 2015-built, 1.2 MW generator set available through USP&E. Configured for 50 Hz operation at 400 V, this unit has logged just 100 hours of runtime, placing it in near-new condition despite its used classification. Fuelled entirely by natural gas, the used Caterpillar G3516 natural gas generator is suitable for continuous-duty power generation, mission-critical standby power, and combined heat and power applications, and it is currently located in Asia, making it exceptionally well-positioned for fast regional deployment. This is a genuinely rare opportunity: a used Caterpillar G3516 natural gas generator with documented low runtime, in a configuration ready for integration into a broad range of power generation applications, listed under stock number USP010860.

The Caterpillar G3516 is a proven platform built around a 16-cylinder, spark-ignited natural gas engine that has earned a strong global reputation for reliability, fuel efficiency, and longevity in demanding operating environments. At 1.2 MW, this generator set sits squarely in the range required for small industrial facilities, remote commercial operations, agricultural processing plants, food and beverage manufacturing, and light oil and gas field support, all of which demand consistent, uninterrupted power at 50 Hz and 400 V. Because the unit has accumulated only 100 hours, buyers can expect engine internals, turbochargers, and ancillary systems that are effectively in as-new condition, substantially reducing the capital and maintenance expenditure that typically accompanies procuring used generation equipment. As a natural gas generator set for continuous duty power, the G3516 architecture is optimised for baseload operation rather than intermittent peak shaving, which means operators can confidently run this unit around the clock without accelerated wear cycles. For facilities exploring combined heat and power integration, the waste heat profile of the G3516 engine makes this used Caterpillar G3516 natural gas generator an attractive candidate for CHP generator schemes in industrial applications where thermal recovery from exhaust and jacket water can meaningfully reduce overall energy costs and carbon intensity. The 50 Hz output and 400 V configuration align directly with grid and facility standards across South Asia, Southeast Asia, East Africa, and broader emerging markets, making this asset immediately deployable without costly electrical re-engineering.

USP&E is a full-service EPC and O&M contractor with more than 150 completed power station projects across 45+ countries, and the company's capabilities extend well beyond asset supply. For buyers of this used Caterpillar G3516 natural gas generator who require a complete solution rather than an equipment-only transaction, USP&E can deliver the full scope of work: engineering, procurement, civil construction, mechanical installation, electrical integration, commissioning, performance testing, operator training, long-term service agreements, and ongoing operations and maintenance. As a turnkey power plant EPC contractor, USP&E manages the entire project lifecycle from feasibility and permitting through to commercial operation, which is particularly valuable in frontier and emerging markets where local contractor ecosystems may be thin or unreliable. Power station O&M in frontier markets demands a partner with genuine on-the-ground experience, robust supply chain relationships, and the organisational discipline to keep generation assets running at performance guarantees over multi-year periods, and USP&E's ISO 9001:2015 quality management and ISO 45001:2018 occupational health and safety certifications confirm that this operational standard is embedded at every level of the business. For operators who require mission-critical standby power generator support alongside primary generation, USP&E can design redundancy and protection schemes that ensure continuity of supply even under grid fault or primary plant outage conditions. The company is 100% OFAC and FCPA compliant, which matters significantly to infrastructure investors, development finance institutions, and government counterparties who require verified regulatory standing from every party in their supply chain.

Buyers looking for a used Caterpillar G3516 natural gas generator with low hours, immediate regional availability in Asia, and access to full EPC and O&M support from a globally certified contractor should act quickly: low-hours units at this output rating and in this configuration represent a narrow segment of the available market, and demand for proven natural gas generator sets across emerging Asian markets continues to intensify.
