FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
APR Energy Enters Strategic Partnership with Pratt & Whitney
Power Systems
LONDON, UK / EAST HARTFORD, CT - APR Energy plc (APR) and Pratt
& Whitney Power Systems (PWPS) today announced a strategic
partnership to jointly address global temporary power needs and to
increase the availability of mobile turbines for temporary power
solutions. This partnership has already facilitated APR orders of
100MW on a flexible delivery schedule. Pratt & Whitney is a
United Technologies Corp. (NYSE:UTX) company.
Under the terms of the global agreement, APR Energy becomes the
exclusive provider of Pratt & Whitney's FT8(R) MOBILEPAC(R)
rental power solutions. In addition, APR will benefit from a
12-month warranty, a five-year service agreement and access to
dedicated global support from PWPS, including project management,
engineering and aftermarket resources.
PWPS will refer temporary power inquiries to APR and will
promote APR across a range of media, including trade fairs,
advertising and promotions. Under this exclusive agreement PWPS
will not sell or lease FT8 gas turbines to any other temporary
power rental provider.
Pratt & Whitney's FT8 MOBILEPAC unit is an ideal fit for
APR's fleet strategy. Earlier this year, it was used to help APR
provide much-needed temporary power in Japan, and its modularized
design allows for rapid deployment and installation as well as dual
fuel flexibility and remote starting capabilities.
This partnership announcement follows APR Energy's recent
similar global agreement with Caterpillar Inc. and Cat dealer Ring
Power.
"After the successful provision of FT8 modular units for our
emergency power projects in Japan, APR and Pratt & Whitney felt
confident that a partnership would thrive," said John Campion, CEO
of APR. "This partnership complements our recent agreement with
Caterpillar and Ring Power for diesel engine units and means we can
greatly increase the immediate availability of turbine resources to
APR Energy's customers globally, as well as jointly promoting new
temporary power contracts."
"We look forward to an expanding relationship with APR and
bringing innovative temporary power solutions to customers around
the globe," said Peter C. Christman, President, Pratt & Whitney
Power Systems. "Our partnership allows us to focus on our OEM core
competencies of providing advanced turbine equipment and
aftermarket services, and to also take full advantage of APR's
experience in fast-track installation and operation of temporary
power plants."
