Rolls-Royce supplies two mtu gensets for the European Commission

Rolls-Royce has won the order to supply two mtu Series 4000 generator sets to provide emergency backup power for the European Commission in Luxembourg. The two gensets, each with a maximum output of 2,640 kVA, were installed by Rolls-Royce partner Energolux in the new Jean Monnet 2 building complex at the beginning of October as part of the renovation and expansion of the Commission.

Jean Monnet 2 is designed to bring together several currently dispersed offices of the European Commission. The planned complex will consist of a welcome pavilion, a tower over 20 floors high, and a lower, flat-roofed building. The mtu gensets will provide reliable emergency power for the Jean Monnet 2 building complex. They ensure that all essential and safety-related equipment inside the buildings, as well as their technical systems, can continue to operate without interruption in the event of a power outage.

The mtu emergency backup gensets, model 20V4000 DS2750 (above), are high-performance diesel generators specifically designed to provide electrical power in the event of a grid outage. “The emergency backup gensets are characterized by their high reliability and efficiency,” said Alain Osuch, Directeur Commercial Travaux Neufs at Energolux. “This makes them the ideal solution for such critical applications.”

With the delivery of the mtu emergency gensets, Rolls-Royce is making an important contribution to the completion of the EU’s construction project, which is expected to be finalized in 2025.

“We are proud that our mtu emergency gensets will help ensure the operational reliability of the European Commission,” said Vittorio Pierangeli, Vice President Global Powergen at Rolls-Royce’s Power Systems division. “This is further proof of the trust our customers place in the quality and reliability of our products and is fully in line with our strategy of providing products to secure critical infrastructure.”
