What Edina does

Edina is a privately-held UK-based engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractor specialising in on-site power generation, founded in 1985 and headquartered in Stockport with offices in Lisburn (manufacturing), Dublin, Cork, Queensland (Australia), and New Delhi (India). The company is the authorised Tier 1 distributor for MWM (a Caterpillar brand) gas engines across the UK and Ireland since 2006, deploying high-efficiency engines rated 400kWe–4,500kWe in combined heat and power (CHP), trigeneration (CCHP), quadgeneration, and hybrid microgrid configurations, alongside diesel standby generators, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and peaking plants. Underlying technology includes the proprietary Edina Operations System (EOS) for real-time remote monitoring on Microsoft Azure, MWM TEM engine management integration with full dongle access, in-house manufacturing of containerised gensets and control panels at Lisburn, and hydrogen-blend-ready gas engines (up to 25% hydrogen) for future-proofing installed assets.

Edina generates revenue across four primary streams: turnkey EPC contracts (one-time project-based), equipment sales (MWM gas engines, diesel generators, BESS), long-term managed service and maintenance agreements (12–16 year contracts with guaranteed availability, consumables, engine rebuilds, and 24/7 monitoring), and parts supply (>£1 million of genuine MWM spares held in stock). GTM is direct enterprise field sales to industrial, healthcare, sewage, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, agriculture, district heating, and peaking plant operators, supported by case study-driven content marketing and industry event participation. The company holds over 250 contracted asset-care customers, has installed more than 1 GWe across 400+ projects, and maintains 350+ MWM engines under service contracts, making it one of the largest independent MWM distributors globally. The business is independently owned with no disclosed parent company, private equity backing, or external funding rounds, led by CEO Hugh Richmond.
