GE’s Distributed Power business signed an agreement with UK-based Clarke Energy to serve as GE’s first authorized distributor for diesel sales and services with responsibility for stationary power generation in Australia, Nigeria, and India.
GE said that the new agreement with Clarke strengthens its ability to meet the growing demand for distributed power in Australia, Nigeria and India, particularly in various industrial sectors.
Darryl Wilson, VP and chief commercial officer for GE’s Distributed Power business—GE Power & Water said “Having a reliable and respected company like Clarke Energy as our authorized distributor helps ensure our customers receive the best possible service after they purchase our diesel generator set. The life cycle service support the engines receive from the first moment of startup is a crucial element of our commitment to our customers.”
Clarke Energy is familiar with GE’s Distributed Power business, currently serving as an authorized distributor for Jenbacher gas engines sales and services in key growth regions including Australia, Nigeria and India. Prior to signing its new agreement, Clarke Energy already had been supporting GE’s diesel expansion strategy. In 2014, GE announced Clarke Energy would supply five of GE’s new 616 diesel engines to Flour Mills of Nigeria plc, representing the first sale globally of the 616 in this application.
“We are excited to work with GE’s Distributed Power business and Clarke Energy to help our customers meet and maintain their distributed power needs with a complementary set of power generation products,” said Tina Donikowski, VP of marine and stationary power—GE Transportation. “Adding the V228 and V250 diesel stationary generators to the diesel engine portfolio provides operators with additional options that offer a legacy of highly reliable performance in some of the world’s toughest environments.”
