The Challenges

Australia was experiencing dangerous brownout conditions due to overreliance on intermittent renewable energy sources

Puerto Rico suffered a catastrophic collapse of its power infrastructure following Hurricanes Irma and Maria, both Category 5 storms

Mexico required immediate restoration of power to a major oil and gas facility after a powerful earthquake disrupted grid operations

Background

Amid these challenges, the team now reunited at New APR Energy was called upon to mobilize its global fleet, logistics network, and operational expertise. Working simultaneously across five power plants in three countries, the team responded with unmatched precision and speed.

Key project scopes included:

Australia: 315 MW across two sites to stabilize the national grid
Puerto Rico: 105 MW across two sites to restore critical infrastructure for the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers and the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA).
Mexico: 70 MW at a PEMEX facility to restart operations essential to the country’s energy sector

Outcome

APR Energy deployed turnkey mobile power solutions tailored to each region’s needs. Leveraging proprietary logistics, in-house engineering, and decades of global deployment experience, the team delivered power plants under extremely compressed timelines.

Australia: Installed 315 MW of dual-fuel turbines in just 90 days for the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO), improving grid reliability amid rising renewable penetration
Puerto Rico: Began delivering 105 MW of emergency mobile gas turbines to two locations within 40 days of Hurricane Maria, restoring electricity to critical health and infrastructure facilities
Mexico: Delivered 70 MW of generation capacity to a PEMEX site in just 20 days, reinstating vital oil and gas processing functions and protecting national energy output

Solutions

APR Energy’s ability to scale globally and deliver more than 490 MW of grid and industrial power across three continents in less than 90 days stands as a landmark achievement in mobile energy deployment.

Lives saved through the restoration of hospitals and emergency services in Puerto Rico
National grid stability reinforced in Australia, providing backup to fluctuating renewables
Economic continuity preserved in Mexico, preventing further disruption to oil production

These deployments demonstrated the strength of APR Energy’s modular technology, global logistics, and seasoned operational teams. The success of fall 2017 solidified the company’s reputation as the trusted partner for governments and industries facing high-stakes energy challenges, delivering results when time and reliability matter most.

Real projects. Real impact.
