The Generating sets Manifesto

Emergency Standby Generating Sets are the foundation of resilience, in Europe and worldwide. Emergency Generating Sets save lives in hospitals, protect critical data, ensure business continuity and safeguard vital infrastructure. Emergency Generating Sets are the last line of defence when the electric grid fails.

This Manifesto is a declaration of intent.

It defines Emergency Standby Generating Sets not as simple backup systems, but as Enabling Technologies at the heart of the European Digital and Energy Transitions. It affirms their contribution to security, continuity and industrial competitiveness and calls for a clear, forward-looking regulatory framework that fully recognizes this role.
