Kohler delivers power solutions to keep data centres on
Lenaik Andrieux , GM EMEA & India of Power Systems at Kohler , explains why its production increase is paramount for enabling reliable energy for data centre businesses
In a digital age where continuous power is non-negotiable , Kohler emerges as a beacon of reliable energy solutions for various sectors , from healthcare to the rapidly expanding data centre market .
Kohler ’ s diverse portfolio ranges from kitchen and bath businesses to entertainment and golf . Yet , its heart lies in the power industry , offering engines , generators , switch gears , and uninterruptible power supplies ( UPSs ) globally . Lenaik Andrieux , GM EMEA & India , emphasises , “ Power systems is really almost an energy insurance business . We are here to make sure that your line never goes off .” This dedication has led to a 30 % production capacity increase , especially targeting the data centre sector .
Beyond generators , Kohler ’ s switchgear segment stands out . As Andrieux explains , “ Switch gears distribute energy effectively , ensuring it reaches the right spot in your process or organisation .” Kohler ’ s commitment goes beyond products ; they deliver total power solutions , a comprehensive approach covering design , execution , and long-term support . Sustainability is integral to Kohler . The company has slashed its carbon footprint by 60 % using renewable fuels like Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil ( HVO ). Innovative programs like Conscious Care ™ further demonstrate their eco-focus , aiming to reduce the operational maintenance activity hours of large power plants , hence the environmental impact .
When questioned about challenges transitioning to HVO , Andrieux reassures , “ It ’ s easy to substitute with the same parameters as GNR . As demand grows , supply will match .” Andrieux foresees Kohler making significant strides in the data centre realm . “ We have a strong brand and take direct ownership of projects with our customers from start to finish ,” he states .
A cornerstone of Kohler ’ s success in the sustainability space is its many partnerships with companies and organizations that align with their vision . They value collaboration with other entities when it is firmly rooted in trust as well as technical expertise .
