Reliable Standby Power for a Major Retail Destination
Eneraque successfully delivered a mission-critical power solution for Chatswood Chase, one of Sydney’s most prominent retail destinations on the city’s North Shore.
As a centre hosting leading international brands, luxury boutiques, food outlets and lifestyle services, the mall welcomes thousands of daily visitors whose experience depends on uninterrupted operations. To safeguard both tenants and customers, a reliable standby power system was essential.
At the heart of the solution is the Baudouin PowerKit 12M26G1100/5 engine, a proven 31.8-litre V12 platform delivering 1,100 kVA of standby power in ESP duty.
Combined with a high-performance alternator, advanced acoustic treatment and a 5,000-litre fire-rated fuel system, the package ensures quiet, resilient and compliant backup power.
By combining Baudouin’s trusted engineering with Eneraque’s turnkey expertise, Chatswood Chase is now equipped with reliable back up power for comercial buildings.
Delivering reliable standby power for Chatswood Chase required a carefully planned installation inside a live retail complex.
With limited access and trading hours to protect, Eneraque craned the genset to site in modules and reassembled it in the plant room, ensuring seamless integration with no impact on operations.
The installation now provides standby resilience without compromise. Sectional delivery and reassembly helped overcome retrofit challenges while preserving the continuity of the retail environment.
At the centre of the package is the Baudouin 12M26G1100/5 engine, coupled with a CGT HCI634H alternator to deliver dependable 1,100 kVA standby output.
To respect strict urban noise limits, the set is enclosed in a purpose-built acoustic housing achieving 80 dBA at 1 metre.
Fuel resilience is guaranteed by a 5,000-litre fire-rated bulk tank and transfer skid, designed to meet local safety codes and support reliable operation during extended outages.
The Baudouin 12M26 series is one of the company’s most trusted platforms, renowned for its performance in both marine propulsion and land power generation.
With a 31.8-litre displacement and V12 configuration, the engine delivers strong power density and stable response under sudden load demands. These are essential qualities for standby operation in critical facilities.
Its design emphasises durability, long service intervals and ease of maintenance, supported by a global service and parts network.
Recognised worldwide as a dependable workhorse, the 12M26 ensures that installations such as Chatswood Chase can maintain uptime and operational continuity, even under challenging conditions.
Beyond the 12M26, Baudouin’s PowerKit range spans from 18 to 4,125 kVA in diesel and from 63 to 1,750 kVA in gas, covering standby, prime and continuous duty applications.
Each Baudouin PowerKit engine benefits from robust European engineering, a design focus on fuel efficiency and lifecycle economy, and standardised footprints that simplify integration for OEMs and installers.
For end users, this translates into a power solution that is resilient, compliant and supported worldwide.
Whether deployed in retail, data centres or industrial facilities, Baudouin PowerKit engines are built to deliver dependable performance where it matters most.
