YorPower

What YorPower does

YorPower Limited is a UK-based manufacturer, supplier, installer and contractor specialising in diesel generators, UPS systems and battery energy storage. Founded in 1989 (with origins dating to 1956) and headquartered in Sherburn in Elmet, Leeds, the company consolidates the previously separate YorPower, PPSPower and Glenace businesses under a single brand following the January 2023 merger. Stephen Peal serves as Group Managing Director.

The core technology stack spans industrial diesel generators from 10kVA to 3,000kVA (manufactured in-house using Perkins and Volvo Penta engines, and distributed as an authorised dealer for Cummins, CAT and FG Wilson); a proprietary UPS portfolio of 11+ sub-brands from 1kVA to 900kVA alongside Riello UPS and Uniti distributed products; Battery Energy Storage Systems (Cummins BESS, 200kVA–2000kVA); and ATS panels and control systems inherited from Glenace. The recently launched YorPower HYPER adds ultra-low-noise, HVO-ready standby capability targeted at noise-sensitive environments.

Revenue is generated through a mix of hardware sales (generators, UPS, BESS, spare parts), professional services (design, installation, commissioning, project management for data centres, hospitals and power plants), recurring maintenance contracts with 24/7/365 UK coverage, and usage-based generator hire from 10kVA to 1000kVA. The business combines direct enterprise sales with a channel-partner model: 30+ dedicated YorPower dealerships, dedicated YP Kenya and YP Bangladesh subsidiaries, and authorised distribution of five tier-1 OEM brands. Approximately 50% of turnover is exported across 60+ countries, with primary customer verticals being data centres, healthcare, manufacturing, public sector, financial services, telecoms, hospitality and agriculture.
