The Waukesha VHP (Vee High Performance) series has been the backbone of North American natural gas power generation since the 1960s. Available in rich-burn and lean-burn configurations from 418 to 1,865 kW, the VHP platform powers a wide range of prime and continuous duty applications including combined heat and power (CHP), landfill gas-to-energy, biogas, and industrial distributed generation. Now manufactured by INNIO Group (formerly GE's Distributed Power division), the VHP line continues to evolve with the current Series Four and Series Five platforms offering advanced ESM engine controls, emPact emission systems, and improved fuel flexibility.
These are not standby or backup generators. Waukesha VHP engines are designed for prime power and continuous duty operation, running 8,000+ hours per year in many installations. The rich-burn models use three-way catalytic converters for near-zero emissions, while lean-burn variants achieve low NOx through combustion tuning alone. Common installations include food processing plants, greenhouses, universities, municipal wastewater treatment facilities, and landfill gas collection sites. The VHP's ability to run on pipeline natural gas, wellhead gas, biogas, and landfill gas with minimal modification makes it one of the most versatile gas engine platforms available.
OnPoint services Waukesha VHP installations across all series generations, providing scheduled maintenance, major overhauls, control system upgrades, and emissions compliance support. Parts availability remains strong through INNIO's dealer network and a deep aftermarket supply chain built over six decades of production.
