The recent blackout that affected the Iberian Peninsula highlighted a growing problem: the lack of alternative solutions in a world where dependence on electricity is total. In a scenario where blackouts may become more frequent, generators are becoming an increasingly important response to guarantee the safety and fault-free operation of electrical structures and equipment.
Extreme weather events, overloads in power grids and technical failures are among the main reasons for unstable energy supplies. In recent years, several European countries have experienced unexpected blackouts, and experts warn that this trend could intensify.
The question is no longer “if” there will be new blackouts, but ‘when’ and “who” will be prepared to deal with them.
In the home, the absence of electricity affects much more than lighting. Air conditioning systems, communications, food and medicines storage are all highly dependent on the power grid. Using generators in the event of a blackout allows basic functions to be maintained and guarantees the comfort and safety of the family.
In the food trade and catering sector, the damage caused by a power cut is immediate. The stoppage of refrigeration systems, the blocking of payment terminals and the impossibility of maintaining customer service have a direct impact on invoicing. Having a generator means being prepared for a blackout and allows you to avoid product losses and maintain customer confidence.
Infrastructures such as airports, train stations and logistics centers depend on energy to operate safely. From signaling to traffic control systems, everything runs on electricity. Without a backup generator, delays, safety failures and widespread outages can occur.
Hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, firefighters and civil protection face critical demands. Power is essential for medical equipment, medicine storage and rescue operations. In these cases, the use of generators is not an optional measure, but an essential part of any contingency plan.
To respond to different contexts of use, Grupel offers a diverse range of solutions that ensure the supply of energy during a blackout, whether in a domestic, commercial or industrial environment.
Portable generators from 2 to 15kVA, easy to use, allowing you to always have power at hand. They are ideal for supplying energy to low-power tools or equipment, both for professionals and home users, in one-off or mobile situations.
Generator sets between 8 and 1000kVA, ideal for emergency applications in homes, commercial establishments or businesses. These generators start automatically when there is a mains failure, ensuring a reliable and immediate power supply.
Larger-scale solutions, starting at 800kVA, in containers and developed by Grupel’s R&D+I team. These generator sets guarantee continuous or emergency power in Low and/or Medium Voltage, adapting to demanding projects and critical infrastructures.
In a world where energy stability is no longer guaranteed, generators play a fundamental role in protecting people, goods and services in the event of a blackout. Investing in an autonomous energy source is now a strategic decision, both for individuals and for companies and public institutions.
