Rolls-Royce Secures Emergency Power Supply Agreement with European Commission

The agreement aims to bolster operational reliability at the new Jean Monnet 2 facility in Luxembourg.
Rolls-Royce Holdings PLC has announced the signing of an agreement with the European Commission to provide two Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) Series 4000 generator systems as emergency backup power for its facility in Luxembourg.

This arrangement is part of the ongoing development of the Jean Monnet 2 building complex, designed to centralize several dispersed offices of the European Commission.

According to the company's statement, its partner, Energolux, has installed two gensets of the 20V4000 DS2750 type, featuring a maximum output of 2,640 kilovolt-amperes (kVA).

These high-performance diesel generators were installed in early October as part of the renovation and expansion efforts at the Commission’s new building.

The Jean Monnet 2 project is set to accommodate around 3,700 employees.

It includes modern office spaces, meeting rooms, an auditorium, restaurants, and fitness and wellness centres.

The complex aims to enhance collaboration among various bodies within the European Commission and is designed to meet contemporary working standards with a focus on efficiency and sustainability.

Vittorio Pierangeli, Vice President of Global Powergen at Rolls-Royce’s Power Systems division, expressed pride in the new installation, highlighting that it would ensure the operational reliability of the European Commission.

He indicated that this agreement underscores the trust customers place in the quality and reliability of Rolls-Royce products, aligning with the company’s strategy of securing critical infrastructure.

Rolls-Royce is known for its mtu emergency power solutions, which utilize diesel or gas generators and dynamic UPS systems to protect critical infrastructure.

The company has installed over 85,000 mtu emergency power systems worldwide, serving crucial operations in data centres, industrial facilities, hospitals, airports, and power plants that require unwavering power support.
