Waukesha gas engines and generator sets occupy a specialized position in the industrial power market — no other manufacturer matches their application depth in natural gas, propane, and field gas applications for oil & gas, pipeline, and industrial processing facilities. Power Generation Enterprises stocks over 55 Waukesha generator sets from our Santa Clarita, California facility, making us one of the largest Waukesha generator dealers in the western United States.
The Waukesha VHP (Very High Performance) series — the F18, L7044, P9390, and 16V275 — are the defining engines for high-BTUH natural gas generator applications. These engines run on pipeline gas, field gas, propane, digester gas, and landfill gas, making them indispensable in applications where diesel is unavailable or prohibited. Waukesha generator sets range from 250kW to 2,000kW+ and are built for continuous-duty operation in remote and demanding environments.
Why Waukesha for gas applications? Waukesha (now part of INNIO, formerly GE Jenbacher/Dresser Rand lineage) has a century of gas engine development behind their current VHP and AT25 platforms. Parts are available through INNIO's global network and through Power Generation Enterprises directly. If your facility runs on natural gas and demands continuous-duty reliability, Waukesha is the brand engineers specify.
Waukesha generator sets are frequently specified in oil & gas operations across the Permian Basin, Gulf Coast, and Rocky Mountain regions — markets we actively serve. Contact us at (818) 484-8550 or request current availability.

Waukesha Engine was founded in 1906 in Waukesha, Wisconsin, originally manufacturing engines for farm tractors and early automobiles. By the 1940s, Waukesha had pivoted to industrial gas engines, establishing expertise in low-BTU and pipeline natural gas applications that would define the brand for decades. The VHP (Very High Performance) engine series, introduced in the 1960s and continuously developed since, became the oil and gas industry's preferred prime power engine for remote field operations. Waukesha was acquired by Dresser Industries, then by GE Oil & Gas, and is now part of INNIO (formerly known as GE Jenbacher) — maintaining full engineering and parts support for the VHP series and the newer AT25 platform. Power Generation Enterprises is one of the largest Waukesha dealer/resellers on the West Coast.
Waukesha VHP engines run on natural gas, field gas, propane, digester gas, and landfill gas — the broadest fuel flexibility of any generator engine platform for oil and gas applications.
Waukesha VHP engines have been the Permian Basin, Gulf Coast, and Rocky Mountain oil field standard for remote power generation for over 50 years.
The VHP series covers 250kW (F18) through 1,500kW+ (16V275) with consistent mechanical architecture, shared service tooling, and a global parts network.
Waukesha VHP engines achieve 24,000-36,000 hour time between overhauls in gas fuel applications — significantly longer than diesel equivalents, reducing total maintenance cost.
Waukesha is now backed by INNIO (Rolls-Royce/Volkswagen) — providing factory engineering support, new parts supply, and a global dealer network for both VHP and newer AT-series engines.
Waukesha engines handle low-BTU and variable-composition biogas that damages conventional gas engines, making them the standard choice for landfill, wastewater, and agricultural digester power projects.

Top 5 Waukesha Generators for Sale in 2025Used Waukesha natural gas generator prices range from $35,000-$75,000 for F18 units (250-350kW) to $175,000-$300,000+ for 16V275 systems (1,500kW+). Mid-range P9390 units (900-1,100kW) typically run $110,000-$185,000. Call Power Generation Enterprises at (818) 484-8550 for current pricing.
Waukesha VHP engines run on natural gas (pipeline quality), field gas (variable BTU from oil well operations), propane, digester gas (from wastewater treatment or agricultural operations), and landfill gas. This multi-fuel capability is Waukesha's primary competitive advantage over diesel-only platforms and makes them the premier choice for oil and gas remote power applications.
VHP stands for Very High Performance — Waukesha's flagship industrial gas engine line produced since the 1960s. The VHP series includes: F18 (250-350kW), L7044G (500-750kW), P9390 (900-1,100kW), and 16V275 (1,500kW+). These engines are the North American oil and gas industry's standard for remote prime power generation where natural or field gas is available.
Waukesha VHP engines handle low-BTU and variable-composition field gas better than Caterpillar G3500 series. Caterpillar has a much larger dealer network and better parts availability nationally. Waukesha is preferred for dedicated field gas, digester gas, and landfill gas applications; Caterpillar G-series for pipeline-quality natural gas standby in areas with strong CAT dealer support.
Yes — Waukesha VHP generators were designed specifically for oil and gas applications. The ability to run on field gas (eliminating diesel fuel supply chains), combined with rugged construction for remote deployment and continuous-duty operation, makes Waukesha the preferred choice in Permian Basin, Gulf Coast, and Rocky Mountain oil field operations. Power Generation Enterprises actively serves these markets.
Waukesha engines are owned by INNIO, an independent company formed in 2018 when GE divested its distributed power business. INNIO also owns the Jenbacher gas engine brand. Waukesha engines continue to be supported with factory parts, engineering services, and a global dealer network under INNIO ownership.
The Waukesha AT25 is a newer-generation lean-burn gas engine from INNIO. It features advanced emissions controls for lower NOx output, making it suitable for markets with strict air quality requirements. The AT25 series replaces older VHP models in new installations where emissions compliance is a priority.
Waukesha VHP engines are engineered for continuous-duty operation with TBO (time between overhauls) of 24,000-36,000 hours depending on fuel quality. In pipeline gas applications with consistent fuel quality, VHP engines routinely achieve 30,000+ hour overhaul intervals. Total engine service lives of 30+ years are common in the oil and gas sector.
Waukesha VHP generators require oil and filter changes every 1,000-2,000 hours (longer than diesel), spark plug replacement every 1,000-2,000 hours, valve adjustments at 4,000-hour intervals, and major overhauls at 24,000-36,000 hours. Gas engine maintenance intervals are generally longer than equivalent diesel engines, reducing total maintenance cost.
