Dubai, UAE – Sonnenberg Power Solutions LLC (SPS) is pleased to
announce sales partnership with Bergen
Engines, a leading medium-speed engine manufacturer, based in Bergen, Norway.
This new collaboration marks a significant step in expansion of SPS product
portfolio and in strengthening Bergen’s footprint in the Central Asia and
Caspian region, covering Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan,
Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan.
Under the agreement, SPS will act as Bergen Engines’ sales
representative and distributor for land-based and offshore marine applications
in the territory. SPS will support Bergen Engines during the initial sales
stages, providing regional project development expertise and driving
implementation efforts for projects across Central Asia. Following project
delivery, SPS will serve as the primary service partner for customers in the
region, further expanding their role into long-term lifecycle support.
Regarding the new agreement, Sven Sonnenberg, founder and CEO
of Sonnenberg Power Solutions, stated:
“We are honoured to be selected by Bergen Engines as their
trusted partner to expand their footprint in the dynamic Central Asian market.
This collaboration provides us with access to Bergen’s cutting-edge
medium-speed engine technology and their pioneering developments in hydrogen
and other low- and zero-carbon fuel technologies. We are confident that this
partnership will unlock significant opportunities and deliver substantial value
to the region’s power generation sector.”
Jon Erik Røv, Managing Director of Bergen Engines, commented:
“We are pleased to welcome SPS as a partner and look forward
to new opportunities together in the Central Asian market. Their knowledge of
the territory and experience with Bergen Engines’ technology position us well
to build a strong partnership and grow our presence across the territory.”
In the past year, Bergen Engines has accelerated its focus on
future fuels, developing power solutions that support a low-emission future.
The company became the first medium-speed engine manufacturer to commercially
operate natural gas engines with a 30% hydrogen blend at 100% load, delivered
to a customer in Spain. Building on that achievement, Bergen has tested higher
volumes of hydrogen and is also advancing its capabilities with methanol,
biofuels, and ammonia. These innovations reflect Bergen’s commitment to cleaner
energy without compromising the reliability it is known for worldwide.
This partnership reinforces Bergen Engines’ commitment to
long-term growth and innovation in Central Asia’s evolving energy landscape.
About Bergen Engines
Bergen Engines produces medium-speed liquid and gas fueled
engines and generator sets to a broad range of land-based, commercial marine,
and naval applications. The Bergen name is a watchword for quality and
reliability in its field.
The tradition of engineering in Bergen, Norway, dates to 1855
when the original company Bergen Mekaniske Verksted (BMV) was founded. In 1943,
the company built its first diesel engine and has since commissioned over 7,500
of its iconic liquid and gas fueled engines. Around half of them are still in
operation today; such is the quality and reliability of a Bergen engine.
From 1999, Bergen Engines AS was owned by the British
aerospace and defense group, Rolls-Royce plc. On 31st December 2021, the
company was acquired from Rolls-Royce by the family-owned engineering and
