Here is who USP&E is and why buyers trust us with used equipment.
Who We Are
USP&E supplies, engineers, builds and operates power plants. We sell used diesel gensets because we know how to test, install and run them on demanding sites. USP&E is a full-service EPC and O&M contractor, not a broker.
What Sets USP&E Apart
Our used gensets are inspected, tested and documented before sale. Because our teams also build and maintain power plants, we understand what makes a used set reliable in service and what makes it a risk. That knowledge shapes every set we offer.
We support buyers beyond the sale with installation, commissioning, spares and planned maintenance. Since 2002, USP&E has delivered 150+ power projects in 45+ countries, with 25,000 MW contracted.
How We Work
We work with speed and ownership. Our 400+ engineers and project managers operate under ISO 9001 and ISO 45001 certified systems, and we take responsibility for results rather than handing problems back to the buyer.
