Power generation equipment procurement

Power generation equipment, sourced and vetted by engineers.

Aligned Power Group sources the generator sets, switchgear, and distribution equipment that power projects run on. We bring direct supplier relationships and real engineering experience to every package we handle.

What we do

One partner, from spec to delivered equipment.

01

Equipment procurement

We source generator sets, switchgear, and electrical distribution equipment through a vetted supplier network. From there we run the commercial side: pricing, allocation, scope, and delivery.

02

Engineering-led sourcing

We check every package against the things that decide whether equipment actually works on a project: paralleling and controls, medium-voltage step-up, emissions compliance, warranty, and commissioning scope. A spec sheet tells you what a unit is. We make sure it fits your job.

03

A trusted intermediary

We work between suppliers and buyers to keep deals moving and scope clear. Both sides get a straight partner who puts the project first.

Equipment focus

Built around utility-scale generation.

The core packages we source and coordinate, from prime power to full electrical distribution.

Generator sets

Diesel and gas gensets for prime and standby duty, from single units to multi-unit packages sized to your load.

Switchgear & distribution

Low- and medium-voltage switchgear and electrical distribution equipment, coordinated to the generation package.

Paralleling & controls

Controls and paralleling systems that let multiple units operate as one coordinated plant.

MV step-up & balance of plant

Medium-voltage step-up and the supporting equipment that connects generation to the grid or facility load.

How we work

We work for the project, not the transaction.

Aligned incentives

Your outcome is the deal

We do well when the right equipment lands on the right project. That keeps our advice honest.

Technical due diligence

We read the fine print

Scope boundaries, controls, emissions, warranty, commissioning. We check the details before they turn into surprises.

Single point of contact

One partner, spec to delivery

You work with one team that knows the equipment, instead of chasing quotes and coordination across suppliers yourself.

Discretion

Relationships handled with care

Supplier and buyer relationships are the business. We protect both sides and keep sensitive commercial details where they belong.

About us

A procurement partner that speaks power.

Aligned Power Group is a Texas-based procurement partner for the power generation sector. We bring together equipment-sourcing experience and hands-on engineering, so clients get one partner who understands both the commercial and technical side of a package.

Plenty of firms can find equipment. Fewer can tell you whether it will actually work on your project. We do both, so what you buy is what your job needs.

NVS Engineering

A power generation engineering firm operating across Canada and the U.S., delivering full engineering, procurement, management, and construction from design through commissioning. With a broad team of engineers, project managers, and field technicians, NVS gives APG real engineering horsepower across power systems, controls, and instrumentation.

Leadership

The people behind the deals.

Aligned Power Group is led by a team with deep roots in energy, finance, and power engineering.
