You need a contractor that can engineer, procure, build and commission the plant as one job, and that has done it in hard places before.
Built for Difficult Schedules and Sites
We understand that time often costs more than equipment. USP&E delivers fast-track power stations using inventory equipment, modular packages and experienced site teams. USP&E is a full-service EPC and O&M contractor, not a broker.
Engineering and Procurement
Engineering sets the plant’s foundations: load studies, equipment selection, layout, fuel supply, electrical single-line, protection and control philosophy. Using new and used gas turbines from inventory shortens procurement, and modular balance-of-plant packages reduce site work.
Procurement covers every major package, from turbines and transformers to switchgear, fuel systems and controls. USP&E manages vendors, inspections and logistics so equipment arrives in the right order and condition.
Construction and Commissioning
Construction includes civil works, equipment setting, mechanical and electrical installation, and control system integration. USP&E provides construction oversight, quality control and safety management under ISO 9001 and ISO 45001 certified systems.
Commissioning proves the plant: system checks, first fire, protection testing, load testing and performance runs. Only when the plant performs as designed does it move to handover and, where agreed, into USP&E operations.
Where Fast-Track EPC Makes Sense
Fast-track gas turbine plants suit mines waiting for grid connections, utilities facing shortfalls, industrial users with growing demand and data centre campuses that need power before the grid arrives. Each has different permitting and fuel challenges, which is why the scope begins with your site.
For equipment comparisons, visit new gas turbine generators and packages. Campus developers can also read about gas turbines for data center primary power.
USP&E Offices Delivering Power Station EPC
Colorado Springs (1755 Telstar Dr, Suite 300) is where many power station EPC requests are scoped; Knoxville (800 S Gay St, Suite 700) follows them into procurement and field execution. Share your site location and the nearest USP&E office will set up a scoping call with an EPC project manager. Cape Town (31 Brickfield Road, Woodstock) and Johannesburg (22 Kildoon Rd, Bryanston) contribute site teams that have worked in heat and dust, London (162-168 Regent Street) handles finance-facing work, and Wuxi (No. 1, Ningzhou Road, Wuxi) keeps manufactured components moving. USA | AFRICA | UK | UAE | CHINA. Behind that footprint sit 150+ power projects in 45+ countries, 25,000 MW contracted since 2002, and ISO 9001 and ISO 45001 certified management systems.
Power Station EPC Track Record
You need a contractor who has built plants under pressure. These projects show that record.
- Kinross Gold, Mauritania: USP&E engineered and executed Caterpillar power station backup for a large-scale mining operation. Read the case study.
- NEOM, Saudi Arabia: USP&E supplied three zero-hour Siemens SGT-400 gas turbines. Read the case study.
- Resolute Mining, Syama, Mali: USP&E installed and operated a 30 MW Caterpillar power station from 2007 to 2010. Read the case study.
Your Plan
Your 3-step plan: 1. Share load, site and schedule. 2. Receive an EPC scope with equipment pathway. 3. Build and commission with one accountable team.
- Define load, fuel, site and target date.
- Agree plant concept and equipment from inventory.
- Complete detailed engineering and procurement.
- Build, test and commission the plant.
- Hand over or move into USP&E O&M.

FAQ: Power station EPC
What is included in USP&E power station EPC?
USP&E power station EPC includes engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning of the complete plant, from turbines and fuel systems to transformers, switchgear, protection and controls. The contract ends with a plant proven under load, ready for handover or USP&E operations.
How does USP&E shorten EPC schedules?
USP&E shortens schedules by using new and used gas turbines from inventory, modular balance-of-plant packages and experienced site teams. That avoids waiting for long production slots and reduces the amount of work that must be done on site.
Where does USP&E build power stations?
USP&E has delivered 150+ power projects in 45+ countries, with 25,000 MW contracted since 2002, across Africa, the Americas, the Middle East and beyond. Projects are led from offices in the USA, South Africa, the UK and China.
Is USP&E a broker or an EPC contractor?
USP&E is a full-service EPC and O&M contractor, not a broker. We engineer, procure, build and commission power stations with our own teams and can operate them afterwards, carrying responsibility for the plant’s performance.
Which projects show USP&E’s EPC experience?
USP&E’s EPC experience includes Caterpillar power station backup engineered and executed for Kinross Gold in Mauritania and a 30 MW Caterpillar power station installed and operated for Resolute Mining in Mali. Each involved demanding logistics and fixed schedules.
Which USP&E offices lead EPC projects?
USP&E leads EPC projects from Colorado Springs and Knoxville in the USA and Johannesburg and Cape Town in South Africa, with London supporting finance and structuring and Wuxi supporting China supply chain and fabrication.
How quickly does USP&E respond to an EPC request?
USP&E assigns an engineer once you share basic load, site and schedule information. You receive clarifying questions or a concept scope first, and site surveys and equipment confirmation follow before a firm EPC proposal is issued.
Can USP&E operate the plant after EPC?
Yes. USP&E can move straight from commissioning into an O&M contract, keeping the same knowledge of the plant on site. Many clients choose this to avoid a gap between construction and operations and to keep one accountable company.
Take the Next Step With USP&E
Done well, power station EPC turns into steady output and clean records. Done badly, it becomes a stranded asset and a dispute. Call USP&E on +27 10 822 2324, email info@uspeglobal.com or use the contact page; stock is listed on the inventory hub.
