The transition from custom-built megaprojects to standardised, mass-produced power solutions mirror the evolution we’ve seen in other industries. Just as automobile manufacturing revolutionised transportation through standardisation and mass production, power generation is undergoing a similar transformation.
Traditional Power Generation
Conventional power stations have followed the “cathedral model” – massive, one-off projects requiring extensive planning, enormous capital, and years of construction. Like the Sagrada Família Cathedral, these facilities are architectural marvels but represent an outdated approach to meeting modern energy needs.
The Mass Production Revolution
The solar industry has already demonstrated how standardisation and mass production can transform energy generation. Now, Capricorn Power is applying these same principles to thermal power generation through their modular power generators, offering:
- Continuous power availability
- Rapid deployment capabilities
- Cost efficiency through standardisation
- Distributed generation benefits
- Enhanced grid resilience
Advantages of Modular Power Generation
The shift to modular, mass-produced power units offers significant advantages for tackling climate change.
| Speed to Market: | Modular units can be deployed in days rather than years |
| Scalability: | Power generation can grow with demand |
| Reliability: | Distributed systems provide better grid stability |
| Cost Effectiveness: | Mass production reduces per-unit costs |
| Energy Efficiency: | Localised generation minimises transmission losses and enables the ‘cogeneration’ of electricity and heat. |
