Qnergy launches explosion-proof PowerGen Ex for offshore power
Qnergy has introduced the PowerGen Ex, an explosion-proof generator for offshore and hazardous environments that is certified to IECEx and ATEX standards. The compact system delivers up to 4,000 watts and is built to cut maintenance needs while improving uptime in remote oil and gas operations.
Why it matters: - Offshore and hazardous sites need power systems that can operate safely with minimal service interruptions. - Qnergy is targeting that need with a generator designed for remote oil and gas operations where uptime, maintenance access and footprint all matter.
What happened: - Qnergy announced the PowerGen Ex, an explosion-proof generator for offshore and hazardous environments. - The system is IECEx and ATEX certified. - Qnergy says the PowerGen Ex will be shown at Oil and Gas Asia 2026 from Sept. 2-4 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, at Hall 6, Booth 6004.
The details: - The PowerGen Ex provides up to 4,000 watts of prime or backup power. - The system uses Qnergy’s Free Piston Stirling Engine. - The engine is an external combustion design with no rotating parts and no lubrication requirement. - The generator is built with redundancies and requires once-a-year maintenance. - The system does not need oil replenishment. - Qnergy said the design is meant to reduce costly service visits and improve uptime. - The compact footprint is intended to leave more room for other critical infrastructure. - Qnergy said the PowerGen Ex brings the company’s Stirling technology to offshore applications in an explosion-proof package.
Between the lines: - The product extends a technology already used in thousands of onshore installations into a tougher operating environment. - The design choices point to a focus on lower maintenance burden, which can be especially valuable where access is difficult or expensive. - Certification and compact size suggest Qnergy is positioning the PowerGen Ex for customers that need both safety compliance and practical deployment flexibility.
What's next: - Qnergy will use the September trade show appearance to pitch the PowerGen Ex to offshore and oil and gas buyers. - The company is inviting attendees to discuss offshore power needs at the booth in Kuala Lumpur.
The bottom line: - Qnergy is moving a proven Stirling-based power platform into explosion-proof offshore use, aiming to sell safety, uptime and low-maintenance operation in one package.
