Megawatts
in months.

Pinion builds containerised combined heat and power stations that generate electricity on your site, at a fraction of the grid price. The queue is optional.

The X-Series

A combined heat and power station
in a container.

A precision gas engine, generator, heat recovery and controls, engineered into a single enclosure that arrives on a truck and works for twenty years.

Built in Britain

Tested at full load.

Every unit is built and tested at full load in our UK facility before it leaves the factory floor.

Why Pinion

Demand for power is outrunning the grid. Data centres, factories and AI now move faster than the network that feeds them, and the queue for a connection is measured in years.

A pinion is the small gear that turns the big one. Pinion puts a compact CHP power station on your site that drives everything else, paid for by the waste it eliminates.
