Capital Region sites, supplied from Red Deer
Standby sets for plants and warehouses, prime power for yards without a service, and temporary power for turnarounds.
NexSource rents and sells natural gas, propane and diesel generators from 100 kW up. Start with the service voltage and the loads that matter, and the set follows from those.
The region's industry is spread across very different places, and the generator question changes with them. Find the one closest to your site.
Fort Saskatchewan, Sturgeon and Strathcona counties
Plants here bring in temporary power for turnarounds, contractor compounds and laydown yards. Gate access usually depends on contractor prequalification; NexSource holds COR and ISNetworld registration. Power for anything inside a classified area is a question for the operator's own electrical engineering.
Turnaround and shutdown powerOilfield service shops and fabrication yards
A shop with overhead cranes, welders and compressors may need a set while its service is upgraded, or a yard may need power before it has a utility connection at all. Give the welding and crane loads separately, because they start hard and switch on and off through the day.
Power until the utility connectsManufacturing, cold storage and distribution
Here the generator is often a standby set. The question is which lines, coolers, conveyors and controls have to restart after an outage, in what order, and how long the building can be without them. That list sets the size more than the building's total load does.

Plant expansions and new tenants can be ready before their power is. A rented set carries the building until the permanent service is energized, then leaves. Tell us the energization date the utility has given and how firm it is.
Edmonton generator rentalsMany Alberta industrial buildings are fed at 347/600 V. A good share of generator equipment, especially units built for the US market, is wound for 480 V. Both are three-phase, but a 480 V set cannot connect straight to a 600 V switchboard.
There are two ways to handle it: choose a set that lists 600 V, or pair a 480 V set with a step-up transformer (see transformer rental in Edmonton). The second adds equipment and cable to the quote but widens the choice of sets.
The voltage is on the main switchboard nameplate or the single-line drawing. Send a photo of either with the enquiry.
A standby set is sized for what has to restart after the utility fails, not for the building's connected load. Four things settle it.
See transfer switch rentals for the changeover, emergency and standby generators for renting standby cover, and prime power where the set will run every day instead.
These are the gas and diesel generators from 100 kW to just under a megawatt that are listed in stock to rent or buy, read from the inventory each hour. Larger sets are on the megawatt page. A card on this page does not mean the set is free on your dates; the quote confirms that.
For a short-term need see Edmonton generator rentals; to own one, see generator sales in Edmonton.
Sets whose card lists 600 V, alone or among several voltages.
Sets listed at 480 V, 208 V or with voltage on request. A transformer can bridge to a 600 V service.
An Edmonton standby set may sit through a January cold snap and then be asked to start and take load at once. Block heaters, battery chargers and enclosure options vary by unit, so ask which each set carries and what the location needs.
Arrange planned maintenance and load testing with the purchase or rental. If a set you own has failed, generator repair in Edmonton can be quoted with a rental to cover the gap.
Yes. NexSource rents and sells natural gas, propane and diesel generators for Edmonton and Capital Region sites, supplied from its shop at 77 Queensgate Cres in Red Deer. There is no Edmonton branch; each job's equipment and transport are arranged from Red Deer.
It is an engine driving an alternator, packaged in an enclosure with its controls, built to run commercial and industrial loads at three-phase voltages such as 480 V or 600 V. Industrial sets are rated in kW and specified for standby or for continuous prime power.
Several sets in the inventory list 600 V on their card, either alone or as one of several voltages. The grid on this page sorts current listings by whether they show 600 V. Where a 480 V set suits a 600 V site, a transformer can be quoted with it.
Standby generators are sold and rented. Send the loads that must restart, the largest motors, the service voltage and how the load will transfer. Permanent installation and the gas and electrical connections are done by the building's licensed trades.
Rent for a defined period, such as a turnaround, an expansion waiting on power or cover while your own unit is repaired. Buy when the set will stand behind the building for years or carry the site every day. Many listings are offered both ways, and some are flagged Rent to Own.
NexSource holds COR and ISNetworld registration, which many plant operators ask for before a contractor is allowed on site. The operator's own requirements for the specific site still apply and are confirmed when the work is quoted.
NexSource provides planned maintenance and 24/7 field service from Red Deer. Arrival time depends on the location and work already underway, so it is confirmed for each call rather than promised in advance.
Each unit and each job is quoted. The set, rent or purchase, term, transport, distribution and any transformer all change the total. Send the load list, voltage and address for a written quote.
Load list, service voltage, standby or prime, the address and the date. Say whether you want to rent or buy and the quote comes back in writing.
