Liyu Power

What Liyu Power does

Liyu Power (legally Liyu Group) is a privately held Chinese manufacturer of gas-fired internal combustion generator sets, headquartered in Changsha, Hunan Province, and founded in 1994. The company designs and builds four product series — LY1200 (900-1200 kW), LY1600 (1100-1600 kW), LY2000 (1400-2000 kW), and LY2616 (2700-4000 kW) — capable of running on 11+ combustible gases including natural gas, biogas, coalbed methane, blast furnace gas, associated petroleum gas, landfill gas, sewage gas, and hydrogen. Proprietary low-calorific gas combustion and gas purification technology allows stable operation with fluctuating industrial waste gas compositions and in conditions down to -45°C.

The company's business model spans hardware sales, EPC contracts, financial leasing, lifecycle services (maintenance, remote monitoring, training, remanufacturing, spare parts), and direct power plant investment and operation. It sells primarily through direct enterprise field sales, supplemented by regional offices in Canada (LIYU POWER CANADA LTD.) and Dubai (LIYU POWER INTERNATIONAL DMCC), and channel partners such as V-MES in Europe. As of 2025, Liyu reports over 200 delivered projects, 1,570 MW cumulative installed capacity, and 8.8 billion kWh annual clean electricity generation across more than 20 countries and 30+ cities. Primary verticals include oil and gas, data centers, steel, mining, agriculture, landfills, wastewater, and ferroalloy, with named reference customers including Henan Yaxin Steel Group, V-MES, Amber Siraj Power, and CSCEC Overseas.

Liyu's go-to-market is event-driven and relationship-led, anchored on participation in major exhibitions (GPOWER, Middle East Energy, Global Energy Show, ICEE, Canton Fair) and government forums such as FOCAC and China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo. Recent strategic priorities include a 2025 alliance with STAMFORD by Cummins for branded generator integration, a 2026 European market entry via V-MES in Italy, and a stated pivot toward data center, microgrid, hydrogen, and carbon capture applications. The firm operates as a privately held, founder/management-controlled enterprise under Chairman Wang Yuefeng, with no disclosed external institutional investors, public listing, or M&A activity.
