Taking Power Where It’s Needed
Today, more than 1.3 billion people lack access to electricity, and billions more
need a reliable grid for basic human needs, including access to clean water,
healthcare, lighting, and education. For 90 years, remote industry sites, villages,
rural communities, and islands have depended on the power of Caterpillar for
reliable energy, grid backup, and sustainable, continuous power.
RURAL ELECTRIFICATION
CUSTOMER STORY: MADAGASCAR
Bringing Power to 100 Rural Villages
In Madagascar, only 15% of residents are connected to electricity. In rural areas,
connectivity is only 4%. When Madagascar launched an initiative to supply stateof-the-art microgrid solutions at an affordable rate for villagers, local Cat dealer
Henri Fraise Fils & Cie was a key part of the solution. In the village of Belobaka,
despite an intense rainy season and unreliable roads, the team completed a
solar microgrid installation in an impressive five months.
SOLUTION
The microgrid provides 83 kW of power at peak operation and has a 315 kW
battery with a 110 kVA generator set for backup, bringing power to 5,000 people
and 800 homes.

CUSTOMER STORY: THE GULF COAST
Cat Rental Power Solutions Provide Relief During
Widespread Blackout
When Winter Storm Uri struck in February 2021, it caused power grid failure
across the United States. At least 4.5 million people were left without electricity
in subfreezing temperatures as the storm damaged electricity infrastructure and
caused massive outages for more than a week.
SOLUTION
Cat dealer Energy Rental Solutions (ERS Cat) dispatched Cat generator sets,
203 air compressors, and 40 dehumidifiers to support the Houston Zoo, local
water and wastewater treatment plants, and grocery stores. When natural gas
pipelines froze around the Gulf Coast, ERS Cat delivered four 1,000,000 BTU
heaters to thaw them and restore heat to residents and businesses in Louisiana
and Texas.

CUSTOMER STORY: MANTI, UTAH
More Control Means More Power
After a host of electrical issues, the Utah Municipal Power Agency (UMPA)
contacted Cat dealer Wheeler Power Systems to design and install a
comprehensive overhaul of the Manti Upper Plant. Mostly unmanned, the
hydroelectric plant required remote visibility and the ability to detect any
faults on the electrical system which could bring the hydrogenator down.
SOLUTION
After implementing 12,470V 1200A Cat switchgear with M1E modicom
controls and custom screens with automation into the hydroelectric plant,
Wheeler trained Manti City Public Works on the new components, provided
a maintenance schedule, and worked through simulations. With new controls
capable of electrical fault detection, operators are alerted of potential problems
and are able to schedule additional power to ensure a water supply for the area.

Using Waste Gas for Power Production
Gas generated by wastewater digesters used in the water treatment process
can be captured and used to provide the plant with electricity and heat for the
digester or other thermal loads. Methane-to-energy increases energy efficiency,
reduces electricity costs, and decreases environmental impact. Cat low-energy
fuel generator sets have a specialized tolerance to the contaminants in sewage
gas fuels, and your Cat dealer will help you design, install, and maintain your
power plant.
WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANTS
CUSTOMER STORY: GRESHAM, OREGON
Biogas Leads to Self Sufficiency
Gresham Wastewater Treatment Plant uses fats, oils, and grease (FOG) from
restaurants to boost electrical generation. Increased biogas production nets
about $1 million in annual savings with avoided utility costs and using genset
jacket water heat to heat buildings. A byproduct, Class B biosolids are used
as fertilizer at no cost to area farmers.
SOLUTION
Two G3508 gas gensets, C9 diesel genset, and paralleling switchgear (480V)
with a Cat dealer Peterson Power Systems customer support agreement.
