1000 kVA Generator Price in Bangladesh

A 1000 kVA generator is approximately 800 kW at 0.8 power factor. The correct choice still depends on motor starting, duty rating, site conditions and the complete project scope.

1000 kVA price context

Public 1000 kVA examples include Cummins around ৳13.78–৳14.30 million and Perkins around ৳21.73 million; other guides quote different ranges depending on engine family and configuration. These are public-market references, not a PS Power quotation. Current project pricing must identify the exact engine, alternator, controller, enclosure and included works.

Where 1000 kVA is commonly considered

A 1000 kVA set is commonly evaluated for industrial estates, large manufacturing, campuses, data centres and major critical facilities. This is only a starting point: actual generator sizing must use the load schedule and starting characteristics.

1000 kVA is about 800 kW — but do not size from kW alone

The simple conversion uses 0.8 power factor: 1000 kVA × 0.8 ≈ 800 kW. A generator should not normally be selected to run continuously at the edge of its nameplate. Account for diversity, transient starts, non-linear loads, ambient conditions and future growth.

For 1000 kVA, synchronization, MV/LV integration, fuel autonomy, room ventilation and protection studies may become part of the project scope.

What changes the 1000 kVA quotation

Engine brand & model

Ricardo, Cummins, Perkins and other platforms can sit in very different price and support tiers.

Silent vs open

Acoustic canopy design, steelwork, ventilation and weather protection add cost.

Electrical package

Alternator, controller, breaker, ATS and synchronization scope materially affect the offer.

Installation

Cable, exhaust, fuel piping, earthing, civil work, transport and commissioning may be separate.

Frequently asked questions

How many kW is a 1000 kVA generator?

At 0.8 power factor, 1000 kVA is approximately 800 kW. Actual usable loading depends on the generator rating, load type and operating conditions.

What is the 1000 kVA generator price in Bangladesh?

Public-market context reviewed in September 2026 is ৳13,778,600–৳21,732,610+. Exact pricing depends on brand, engine model, alternator, controller, canopy and included project scope.

Is 1000 kVA enough for my site?

It depends on the measured or calculated load, motor starting, lifts/pumps/compressors, UPS loads, diversity and future expansion. A load schedule is required for a reliable answer.

Should I choose Cummins, Perkins or Ricardo at 1000 kVA?

Choose based on the project specification, lifecycle support, budget and exact offered model—not the brand name alone. Compare complete technical schedules.
