Clarke Energy Ltd
Clarke Energy is a business located in Knowsley near Liverpool. We engineer, install and maintain
gas or diesel fuelled power plants typically from 0.25-100 megawatts electrical output. We have
diversified this model to incorporate reciprocating engine compression units in 2015 in India and
Australia. The business started as a provider of spare parts for marine and industrial diesel engines
and changed course over the years, becoming the authorised distributor and service provider for
GE’s reciprocating engines within the UK.
We have turned into a global market leader in the supply of high efficiency distributed power
generation with operations in over 17 countries. In 2015 we expanded into Cameroon and Morocco.
The power plants can reach the highest levels of energy efficiency, (up to 90%) in a Combined Heat
and Power (CHP) configuration using both the electricity and the heat generated. Using these
engines, carbon emissions are decreased, which has a positive impact on the environment. The
energy efficiency at the same time reduces electricity bills.
Our services range from the supply of an individual engine, through to the complete turnkey installation
of a multi engine power plant. The generators work on different types of gas including natural gas
and numerous renewables such as biogas, sewage gas and landfill gas. In addition, the gas
engines can even be deployed when using gas that is emitted during the process of crude oil
extraction or coal mines. Where the escaped methane would be released in the atmosphere, it
would now be captivated to produce energy. When released in the atmosphere, methane is 20
times more potent than carbon dioxide All our installations are either high efficiency, renewable or
low carbon systems that give significant environmental and social benefits across the world.
Having started as a service company, Clarke Energy to this day lays a big focus on their aftercare of
the product. We offer different maintenance agreements to meet all of our customers' needs.
Clarke Energy’s head office is located in Knowsley, Liverpool. We are a growing company and a key
employer in the area. This means that even in times of recession, we can offer jobs to people from
this community and train them in the necessary skills and techniques to work within the company.
Our employees get the chance to work in an international environment. Clarke Energy uses local
labour for work in other countries. For example we can send our service engineers to work in
commissioning units in France, or send project engineers to work on projects in Nigeria and Tanzania.
With eight years of increasing turnover and profits, ignoring the global trend of recession, we can
state that Clarke Energy is a real local success story.
