Powering Stadium Infrastructure with 500kVA INDUSTRIAL Diesel Generator
Overview: High-Capacity Diesel Generator Delivered to Stadium Site
Target Power successfully delivered a TB550 industrial diesel generator to SJ Power for deployment at Portsmouth Football Club, Fratton Park. Built to Target Power’s bespoke specification, the generator was supplied with a Baudouin 6M21G550/5 engine, Stamford alternator, and weatherproof sound-attenuated canopy—ensuring reliable power for a high-demand environment.
Delivered via Hiab to the stadium site, the unit is now supporting critical operations on the ground. This project demonstrates Target Power’s ability to supply high-performance, site-ready diesel generators with fast delivery and tailored features.
