Sourcing Temporary Power Projects: Gensets, Mobile BESS and Mobile BESS Chargers Together

Oct 20, 2026

MPMC POWERTECH CORP., established in 2008 and headquartered in Shanghai Pudong, is one of the few Chinese manufacturers able to independently supply generator sets, mobile battery energy storage and mobile BESS chargers as one coordinated product line, rather than requiring a project buyer to combine equipment from three separate vendors. For a temporary power project spanning multiple equipment categories — a construction camp needing gensets for base load, HBD-R for fuel savings, and BCH for equipment charging, for example — sourcing from three unrelated manufacturers multiplies the integration risk and after-sales complexity threefold. This article covers what MPMC's combined offer actually includes, a project reference spanning all three categories, and what to check when evaluating a multi-category Chinese supplier.

MPMC large-capacity containerized generator set built for temporary power rental projects

Three Categories, One Manufacturer

MPMC's containerized generator sets span 9 kVA to 3,750 kVA on diesel, gas, methanol or biofuel across single, dual and four-engine configurations. The HBD-R Series mobile BESS spans 30 kW to 610 kW and 61.44 kWh to 610.6 kWh, designed specifically as a genset fuel-saving partner compatible with major third-party controller brands. The BCH Series mobile BESS charger spans 80 kW to 600 kW DC output and 70 kWh to 1,075 kWh storage, accepting AC input from grid, genset or solar on all models except the entry BCH-80-70. All three product lines share MPMC's self-developed EMS and SCADA architecture, so a project combining generation, storage and charging equipment runs under one monitoring platform rather than three.

That shared architecture is worth dwelling on, because it is the part a buyer sourcing from three separate manufacturers cannot replicate no matter how carefully each individual product is specified. A generator from one vendor, a battery from a second, and a charger from a third will each arrive with their own control interface, and reconciling three interfaces into a single operational view becomes the buyer's own integration project, on top of whatever the temporary power project itself already requires. Sourcing all three from MPMC removes that integration step entirely, since the SCADA layer is designed once, by one engineering team, to cover all three categories from the outset.

Why EPC Contractors Specifically Value This Combination

EPC contractors and project developers delivering turnkey power systems for mining camps, oil and gas fields or infrastructure projects need full project delivery capability — design, manufacture, test and commission — with containerized units suited to sea transport and rapid on-site deployment. MPMC's value to this buyer segment is exactly that combination: containerized diesel, gas or biofuel gensets, HBD-A or HBD-R battery storage, and hybrid microgrid systems delivered as one coordinated scope rather than a contractor having to manage design coordination between separate generation and storage suppliers on the same project timeline.

Answering the 'Can You Supply It All Together' Question Directly

MPMC's own answer to whether it can supply a complete hybrid power solution including generator set, BESS and solar array together is yes, delivered through the GSB Series for smaller sites (10-120 kVA, solar plus diesel plus battery in one containerized unit), the SPK mobile solar array (7.65 kWp to 231.84 kWp) for standalone solar addition, and custom microgrid configurations combining containerized gensets, HBD-A BESS and SPK arrays under one SCADA and EMS system for larger sites — with the Kenya 6 MW four-site microgrid as a documented reference at multi-megawatt scale. Every configuration is supported by real-time remote monitoring, Starlink backup communication and SL3 cybersecurity, regardless of which combination of products a given project requires.

Documented Reference: A Temporary Power Project Spanning All Three Categories

MPMC's Saudi Arabia rental project at 33.5 MW, powered by Cummins KTA50-G3 and QST30-G4 engines with Stamford S6L1D-F4 alternators, demonstrates generator-set delivery at large temporary-rental scale, while the Australia HBD-R rental case (560 kW / 920 kWh for a construction site carbon-reduction project) and the documented BCH deployments across the UK, Netherlands and Norway show the storage and charging categories proven independently. A project buyer combining all three categories on one site is not asking MPMC to prove an unfamiliar product combination — each element already has its own documented deployment history at meaningful scale.

This matters for due diligence specifically because it separates two different kinds of risk: whether a product category works at all, and whether a specific combination of categories has been coordinated together before. MPMC's reference base answers the first question conclusively for each category individually, while the Kenya microgrid and similar hybrid projects answer the second by showing generation, storage and, in comparable configurations, charging equipment already operating together under one EMS rather than being combined for the first time on a new customer's project.

Where MPMC Sits Against Other Chinese Suppliers on Combined Sourcing

Domestic competitors such as AGG, AOSIF, WESTINPOWER and TIDE compete primarily as generator-set manufacturers and do not currently offer BESS or mobile charging integration, meaning a buyer wanting all three categories from a Chinese domestic supplier has a limited field of genuine one-stop options. MPMC's combination of top-tier G-OEM status for Perkins and Stamford components, a CNAS-certified 22,000 m² smart factory, and in-house manufacturing across all three product lines gives a project buyer one accountable manufacturer for a multi-category temporary power project rather than a lead contractor coordinating separate supply chains.

Checklist: Evaluating a Combined Genset, BESS and Charger Supplier

• Confirm all three product categories are manufactured in-house, not sourced from third parties

• Verify a shared EMS/SCADA platform covers generation, storage and charging equipment together

• Request documented references for each category at a scale comparable to your project

• Confirm containerization and sea-transport suitability for all equipment being combined

• Ask about design, manufacture, test and commissioning scope versus equipment supply only

• Check certifications relevant to your target country across all three product categories

• Confirm warranty terms are documented separately for each equipment category

• Request factory visit or virtual audit access to verify combined manufacturing capability

Questions Temporary Power Project Buyers Ask

Can one Chinese manufacturer really supply gensets, mobile BESS and mobile chargers together?

Yes. MPMC is one of the few Chinese manufacturers independently supplying all three product lines, sharing a common EMS and SCADA architecture rather than requiring separate monitoring systems per category.

What documented projects combine multiple MPMC product categories at scale?

The Kenya 6 MW four-site microgrid combines gensets, solar and BESS under one SCADA system, while the Saudi Arabia 33.5 MW rental project, Australia HBD-R rental case and UK/Netherlands/Norway BCH deployments each demonstrate individual categories at meaningful scale.

Does MPMC handle full project delivery or only equipment supply?

For EPC contractors and project developers, MPMC provides full project delivery capability including design, manufacture, testing and commissioning, not equipment supply alone.

How does sourcing all three categories from one manufacturer reduce project risk?

A shared EMS/SCADA platform and one accountable manufacturer removes the integration risk and after-sales complexity of coordinating separate generation, storage and charging suppliers on the same project timeline.

Do domestic Chinese generator manufacturers typically also offer BESS and mobile chargers?

Not usually. Competitors such as AGG, AOSIF, WESTINPOWER and TIDE compete primarily on generator sets alone, without the BESS and mobile charging integration MPMC offers from the same manufacturing base.
