1MW Natural Gas Generator Set — 40HQ Containerised
Enterprise-grade platform, assembled and tested in the EU.
Overview
Four 250 kW gas generator sets running in parallel inside a single 40-foot high-cube container, synchronised to deliver one megawatt. Switchgear, controls, cooling and exhaust are integrated; the unit arrives commissioned.
Paralleling four smaller engines rather than fitting one large one buys redundancy that a single-engine set cannot offer. Service one unit and you lose a quarter of capacity rather than all of it, and the plant follows load rather than running a big engine at partial output where efficiency falls away. For a 24/7 workload — mining or AI inference, both of which punish downtime — that architecture is worth more than the headline rating.
Why teams choose it
- 1 MW from four paralleled sets — synchronised and commissioned before delivery.
- Redundant by architecture — service one engine, keep 750 kW running.
- Follows load — engines drop out at low demand instead of running inefficiently.
- Single 40HQ delivery — switchgear, controls and cooling included.
Typical applications
- Megawatt-scale sites without grid capacity
- 24/7 workloads where downtime is expensive
- AI compute sited next to a gas resource
What you get from Kentino
Kentino supplies, configures and supports this system as part of a complete deployment: site and load assessment, gas supply and emissions requirements, electrical design, EU-based logistics and warranty. On-site generation carries permitting and emissions obligations that vary by country — our engineers will walk through what applies to your location before you order.
Lead time and freight are quoted per project. Contact us for a full bill of materials and a delivery estimate to your site.
The questions buyers ask us most often before ordering a server.
How long does it take?
Machines built from components we hold ship quickly; anything requiring a specific GPU generation depends on supply. We give you a date before you pay, and if it moves we tell you rather than letting you find out.
Can the configuration be changed before you build it?
Almost always. GPUs, memory, storage and cooling are chosen per order, and the listed configuration is a starting point rather than a fixed package. If you need more VRAM, faster storage or a different cooling approach, say so before you order and we will quote the change.
Can I collect the server in person?
You can. Our warehouse is in Prague, and collection in person is welcome — most people who come use the visit to go through the machine with our engineer and ask the questions that are awkward over email. For orders within the Czech Republic we also try to deliver personally and walk you through the setup on site.
Can I talk to someone who actually understands the workload?
Yes. We have an engineer who works on AI systems specifically, not a general sales desk. If your question is about batch sizes, quantisation, interconnect or where your bottleneck will be, ask it — that conversation usually changes the configuration for the better.
Which model can I run on this configuration?
Yes. Every machine is assembled, burn-in tested and benchmarked on real AI workloads before it ships, and it leaves us with an LLM already installed and running. You plug it in, connect it to your network and start work — the only decision left is which project it runs first.
How do you test a server before shipping?
We run it against actual AI workloads rather than synthetic scores: inference throughput, sustained load behaviour and thermals under continuous operation. You get the benchmark results with the machine, so the performance you were promised is the performance you can verify on day one.
Is the server ready to run when it arrives?
Yes. Every machine is assembled, burn-in tested and benchmarked on real AI workloads before it ships, and it leaves us with an LLM already installed and running. You plug it in, connect it to your network and start work — the only decision left is which project it runs first.
Ships from our EU warehouse. Heavy items may require freight arrangement — contact us for a shipping quote and lead time. 2-year limited warranty with advanced RMA support; extended warranty available.
Not exactly what you need?
Tell us your workload and we'll spec this platform around it — GPUs, memory, storage and cooling matched to what you actually run.
