**Note that price is a package deal
The new Caterpillar C175-16 diesel generator listed exclusively through USP&E Global represents one of the most capable and immediately deployable backup power assets available in North America today. This 2023-vintage unit carries zero operating hours, confirming it as a factory-fresh, never-commissioned generator set ready for rapid deployment into any critical power application. Rated at 3 MW and configured for 60 Hz operation at 480 volts, the new Caterpillar C175-16 diesel generator delivers robust, reliable output in a diesel-fuelled package that meets the demands of operators who cannot tolerate downtime or uncertainty. USP&E Global holds this asset within its exclusive inventory of 3,000 plus MW, meaning this specific unit, stock number USP011005, cannot be sourced through any other channel. Buyers seeking a new Caterpillar C175-16 diesel generator in North America will find no comparable combination of asset condition, provenance, and project delivery capability anywhere else in the market.
The Caterpillar C175-16 platform is one of the most respected high-output diesel generator architectures in commercial and industrial power generation, and this 3 MW, zero-hour example represents the peak of that lineage. Configured as a complete generator set, the unit is equally suited to primary backup power roles in data centres, mining operations, oil and gas facilities, manufacturing plants, utility substations, and any other application where grid independence or uninterruptible supply is a mission-critical requirement. The 60 Hz frequency and 480-volt output align precisely with standard North American electrical infrastructure, meaning integration into existing switchgear and distribution systems is straightforward and cost-effective for engineering teams. The new Caterpillar C175-16 diesel generator is a backup power diesel generator set capable of stepping into service with minimal lead time, which is a decisive advantage when projects are operating under tight commissioning schedules or when emergency backup capacity must be brought online without delay. USP&E Global's exclusive access to this asset, combined with the company's ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 certifications, guarantees that procurement is handled to the highest quality and safety standards from initial inquiry through to final handover. USP&E is also 100% OFAC and FCPA compliant, giving buyers in regulated industries and government-adjacent sectors the compliance assurance they require before committing to a major capital asset acquisition.
USP&E Global is not simply a broker or reseller. As a multinational EPC and O&M company with more than 150 completed power station projects across 45 plus countries, USP&E has the in-house engineering, procurement, and construction capability to take this backup power diesel generator set from the point of sale all the way through to a fully operational power station. Clients can engage USP&E as a turnkey power plant EPC contractor, contracting the full scope of civil works, mechanical installation, electrical integration, fuel system design, protection and control, and final commissioning under a single contract. This removes the complexity and risk of managing multiple contractors and ensures that a world-class asset like the new Caterpillar C175-16 diesel generator is installed and commissioned to manufacturer specifications by a team with demonstrable project history at scale. Beyond initial deployment, USP&E also provides long-term service agreements and diesel generator O&M frontier markets experience, supporting clients who need their asset managed, maintained, and optimised over a multi-year operational lifecycle. Whether the project is a straightforward backup power installation at a single facility or a more complex multi-unit microgrid deployment, USP&E brings the full weight of its global project portfolio and exclusive power generation assets to bear on every engagement. The combination of a zero-hour, new-condition asset and a contractor capable of delivering turnkey EPC and ongoing O&M is a pairing that very few companies in the world can offer, and USP&E is one of them.
For procurement teams, asset developers, utilities, and independent power producers evaluating their options, the new Caterpillar C175-16 diesel generator available through USP&E Global is a rare and time-sensitive opportunity. Zero-hour 2023-model generator sets of this output class and pedigree do not remain in inventory indefinitely, and with USP&E owning more than 100 MW outright and holding exclusivity on a further 500 plus MW, competition for premium assets like this one is real.
