Match the operating duty

Power for the work your site has scheduled.

Production and process loads

Supply pumps, process equipment and site services where a suitable gas source is available. Specify the operating hours and the largest motor start so the package is assessed for the full duty cycle.

Prime power rentals →

Shutdowns and maintenance

Keep agreed loads supplied while switchgear, a transformer or the permanent generator is being worked on. Plan the isolation, transfer arrangement and commissioning sequence with the site's electrical team.

Standby power arrangements →

Utility connection delays

Rent generation while the site waits for electrical service or an upgrade. Share the expected energization date and extension risk so the rental, fuel supply and maintenance plan cover the likely term.

Temporary and gap power →

Megawatt requirements

Assess a larger gas package or several coordinated sets for a substantial industrial load. Define usable capacity, staged load increases and the power that must remain available during maintenance.

Megawatt power rentals →
Specify the rental

The electrical load and the gas supply need to match.

An industrial rental may run for a shift, several weeks or through a long utility delay. The generator needs a suitable gas supply throughout that term, at the pressure, flow and quality required by its engine.

For field gas, provide an analysis before the equipment is selected. NexSource lists inlet fuel gas scrubbers; conditioning and regulation depend on the actual supply. Utility gas also needs a capacity check at the tie-in.

For delivered gas, review CNG for temporary power generation. Fuel delivery, storage and decompression are included only where confirmed in writing. Diesel rentals are another option where the proposed gas supply does not fit the job.

01

Load and starting sequence

Send running kW or kVA, the largest motors, their starting method and any variable-speed drives. Include load steps and equipment that will be added later.

02

Voltage and connection

Confirm voltage, phase and frequency, the connection point and the cable route. A single-line diagram helps identify switching, protection and transformation requirements.

03

Gas quality and capacity

Provide the gas analysis or utility specification, pressure and available flow at the proposed tie-in. Include seasonal changes and any existing regulation or conditioning.

04

Duty and maintenance cover

State daily running hours, rental dates and acceptable downtime. Identify loads that need backup while a unit is serviced and the required reserve capacity.

The complete electrical package

Quote the connections and service with the generator.

The set is one part of the temporary installation. Identify how it connects, how it will be tested and who maintains power while service is carried out. Agree on equipment and responsibilities before mobilization.

Distribution, switching and voltage

Scope distribution panels and cable, transfer equipment and any transformer rental around the site's voltage and connection requirements.

Commissioning and maintenance

Discuss load bank testing, planned service access and any reserve generator. NexSource provides generator service and maintenance; field support and maintenance cover are agreed for the site.

Longer terms and ownership

Give the expected term and extension risk when requesting rates. Selected listings identify rent-to-own options. If the load is becoming permanent, compare natural gas generators for sale with the rental proposal.

Industrial rental questions

Before you book the package.

What sizes of industrial natural gas generators can I rent?

Compare the current rental listings on this page for output, voltage and fuel. NexSource lists NPI Series packages as well as larger Caterpillar and other gas generator packages. The quoted capacity depends on the selected unit's prime or standby rating, site conditions, gas specification and starting loads. Confirm availability for your rental dates before booking.

Can I rent a natural gas generator for continuous industrial operation?

Ask for a package rated for the intended prime or continuous duty. Send the expected load profile, daily operating hours and project duration. A standby nameplate rating should not be used as an assumed continuous output. The rental scope should cover service intervals, maintenance access and any backup capacity needed while a unit is offline.

Can the rental generator run on field or wellhead gas?

Some packages can use suitable field gas, subject to the exact engine and fuel system. Send a gas analysis and the available pressure and flow for review. Liquids, contaminants and changing gas composition affect the required conditioning and engine suitability. NexSource lists inlet fuel gas scrubbers for rental; the required scrubber and regulation are specified for the job.

Can I get 600 V industrial power from a gas rental generator?

The fleet includes a Cummins 200 kW package listed at 347/600 V, a CAT DG400 listed with 208–600 V output and other units with their own voltage specifications. Several NPI and larger CAT listings specify 480 V. Confirm the exact voltage, phase, capacity and connection with the rental team. A transformer can be scoped where required rather than assuming every unit reconnects to 600 V.

Can you parallel generators for a larger industrial load?

The NPI Series documents synchronising and load-sharing controls. A multi-generator rental still needs a design for the specific units, distribution, load steps and operating duty. Share the required running capacity and whether the site needs N+1 redundancy. Adding nameplate ratings together does not establish the usable capacity or redundancy of the completed system.

How much does an industrial natural gas generator rental cost?

NexSource quotes the selected generator, rental term, transport and supporting equipment for the job. Operating hours, service requirements, distribution, transfer equipment and redundancy affect the scope. Include the cost of your gas supply and any conditioning or delivered-fuel equipment when comparing the total project cost. Request a written quote with your load list and dates.

Can I rent a gas generator if the site has no natural gas pipeline?

Discuss a suitable delivered-CNG arrangement or a propane-capable package with the team. A CNG system requires a separately specified fuel supply, storage, decompression and delivery plan. These are included only where expressly confirmed in the written scope. Dual-fuel capability is identified on individual listings and must be checked for the selected unit.

Where does NexSource supply industrial gas generator rentals?

NexSource operates from Red Deer and supports rental projects across Alberta, including the Edmonton, Calgary, Grande Prairie, Drayton Valley and Fort McMurray areas. Include the site location so transport, service coverage and availability can be confirmed. Contact the team to discuss larger projects elsewhere in Western Canada.
