A reliable partner in backup power solutions 

Published

AGCO Power, based in Pirkanmaa, offers technical expertise and domestic security of supply for data centre projects.

AGCO Power’s rapidly deployable containerised diesel generators are a solution preferred by data centres. 

AGCO Power is a Finnish, globally renowned developer and manufacturer of engine and backup power solutions, with a history spanning over 75 years. The company’s roots are firmly planted in Pirkanmaa, where engine manufacturing has a long history and is technologically advanced. 

“Most of our backup power solutions are designed and implemented for the domestic market. In Finland, we have a factory, product development and comprehensive maintenance and lifecycle services to ensure that our solutions work throughout their entire lifecycle,” says Timo Hämeen-Anttila, Project Sales Manager at AGCO Power.  

Diesel generators can be ordered from AGCO Power as open-frame models for engine rooms, weatherproof canopy models, containerised solutions or even synchronised in groups of multiple diesel generators.  

“A great option is to purchase an UPSG system with backup power. The UPSG hybrid combines a diesel generator, an uninterrupted UPS power supply and, if necessary, the opportunity to participate in the frequency reserve market,” says Project Sales Manager Petri Ojala.  

The system is essential at critical sites such as hospitals, industrial plants or data centres, where even seconds of downtime can have financial ramifications. Participation in the frequency reserve and spot markets makes it possible to optimise and shorten the payback time of the system.  

High power for data centres

AGCO Power manufactures and supplies diesel generators in a wide 60–3,000 kVA power range, tailored to the customer’s needs.  

“The large data centre projects of recent years are reflected in, among other things, an increase in the required power values,” says Hämeen-Anttila, who has worked in the electrical industry for twenty years.  

The needs of data centres also emphasise the high requirements for backup power systems, such as security of supply and load-bearing capacity, which is critical in AI loads.  

“We have excellent expertise in containerised diesel generators, which are a preferred solution for data centres due to their fast deployment and high capacity,” says Hämeen-Anttila. 

“The weather conditions in Finland pose a challenge. In winter, the temperatures can fall below 40 degrees Celsius and, in summer, we have sweltering heat. With our very own local designs, we are able to meet the demands of the Nordic climate,” says Petri Ojala.
