**Note that price is Per Unit
The new Caterpillar CG170B-20 natural gas generator listed exclusively through USP&E Global represents a zero-hour, factory-fresh 2.3 MW generator set configured for 50 Hz operation at 11,000 volts, available now from USP&E's exclusive European inventory. This new Caterpillar CG170B-20 natural gas generator has recorded zero operating hours and remains in pristine new condition, making it one of the most compelling turnkey-ready assets currently on the market for buyers seeking proven Caterpillar gas engine technology without the lead times associated with OEM order books. Purpose-engineered for peak shaving natural gas generator set applications and combined heat and power systems, this unit offers immediate deployment potential in industrial, commercial, and utility-adjacent settings across Europe and beyond. USP&E Global holds exclusive access to this asset, meaning buyers will not find this specific unit through any other channel, broker, or OEM reseller. With over 3,000 MW of exclusive inventory spanning 45-plus countries and more than 150 completed power station projects worldwide, USP&E is uniquely positioned to bring this asset from listing to live generation faster than any competing route to market.
The Caterpillar CG170B-20 platform is one of Caterpillar's most respected medium-speed gas engine generator sets, and this new Caterpillar CG170B-20 natural gas generator delivers 2.3 MW of continuous output with the high electrical efficiency, low emissions profile, and robust mechanical reliability that define the CG170 series. Rated at 11,000 volts and tuned to 50 Hz, it is immediately compatible with European grid infrastructure and industrial facility requirements without requiring costly transformer integration or frequency conversion. The zero-hour condition of this unit means buyers acquire full engine life, full warranty eligibility, and full manufacturer documentation, which is a significant commercial and operational advantage over comparable used or refurbished units. For peak shaving natural gas generator set deployments, the CG170B-20's fast-start capability and stable load-following characteristics make it exceptionally well suited to demand response contracts, utility tariff management, and industrial facilities seeking to reduce peak demand charges. In combined heat and power configurations, the engine's recoverable thermal output can be directed to process heat, space heating, absorption cooling, or steam generation, delivering system efficiencies that far exceed simple-cycle power generation and making this unit an outstanding choice for any facility operator pursuing a CHP generator for industrial applications strategy. The 2.3 MW output class is particularly attractive for mid-size manufacturing plants, food processing facilities, hospitals, district energy schemes, and commercial campuses where on-site generation at this scale provides both energy security and measurable cost reduction against grid tariffs.
USP&E Global does not simply list assets. As an ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 certified EPC and O&M company, USP&E functions as a full turnkey power plant EPC contractor capable of taking this new Caterpillar CG170B-20 natural gas generator from purchase through to commercial operation with a single integrated engagement. USP&E's project delivery capability encompasses site evaluation and permitting support, foundation and civil works coordination, electrical balance-of-plant engineering, installation, mechanical and electrical commissioning, grid connection, and regulatory compliance documentation. For buyers in frontier and emerging markets, USP&E's natural gas generator O&M frontier markets capability is a particularly decisive factor, because USP&E operates and maintains power assets in environments where OEM service networks are thin or absent, and where the difference between a functioning plant and a stranded asset often comes down to the quality and commitment of the O&M partner. Long-term service agreements, LTSA structures, and performance-linked O&M contracts are all available through USP&E, providing buyers with a predictable cost of ownership and guaranteed uptime commitments across the full asset lifecycle. USP&E's 100 percent OFAC and FCPA compliance posture also ensures that international buyers, development finance institutions, and project lenders can engage with confidence, knowing that the transaction and all downstream project activities meet the highest standards of international regulatory and anti-corruption compliance. The exclusive power generation assets found only through USP&E Global, including this unit, sit within a curated inventory that reflects decades of sourcing expertise and direct relationships with manufacturers, utilities, and project developers across every major power generation market in the world.
