Italy’s Margen S.p.A. has completed a project in Angola to supply a total of more than 4.5 MVA of on-site power to underpin food security in the country
The project involved the shipment of two high-capacity power plants, each of 2,270 kVA, designed and tested in-house to meet a critical need: ensuring uninterrupted energy backup for the African country’s large cold storage facilities.
Powered by heavy-duty Perkins motors, the two high-capacity units are designed to ensure immediate response and continuous cooling, protecting temperature-sensitive products from any network instability.
“Reliability is essential when food safety is at stake,” a company statement noted.
“In contexts where the stability of the cold chain is directly related to the security of supply, the choice of heavy-duty Perkins engines is strategic, configured to ensure immediate response times and total operational resilience even in the presence of an unstable national electricity grid,” Margen S.p.A. reported in a recent social media post.
“This order is not only a logistical milestone, but also reaffirms the company's technological ability to customise MPS power plant solutions for complex global infrastructures, where the protection of temperature-sensitive goods leaves no margin for error,” it added.
“By exporting innovation from its headquarters to emerging markets, Margen confirms itself as a strategic partner for major international development projects, enhancing the technical rigour and reliability of ‘Made in Italy’ at every latitude.”
