Solving a sector-wide problem

The renewable energy sector faces a critical challenge: existing generator systems are heavy, costly to maintain, and not designed for easy retrofitting or scaling — especially offshore.

CGEN’s modular generator technology solves this market problem with a highly adaptable system that is lighter, scalable, and built for real-world operations in wind, tidal, and wave sectors. It is an innovative, first-to-market solution with no direct modular machine competition, achieving cost reduction and reducing environmental impact.

And our solution is ready for commercialisation — designed for wind retrofits, new installations, hydro, run of river and offshore energy.

The market needs us

  • Over 55,000 wind turbines in the UK and EU require generator replacements by 2050
  • Offshore wind capacity targets of 50GW by 2030 in the UK alone
  • Tidal and wave sectors forecasted to grow 10% annually
  • There is a major supply chain gap -o UK-based supplier of large direct-drive generators
  • CGEN is first to market with machine-level modularity for both new and legacy systems

Whether it’s replacing an ageing turbine or powering the next generation of offshore devices, CGEN delivers modular, serviceable generator systems that reduce cost, risk, and time to deploy.

Our technology is unique

  • Fully modular and scalable design — no full generator replacement required for faults
  • Other “modular” solutions are not truly modular at the generator level — they may modularise subsystems (power electronics, towers, nacelles) but not the generator core.
  • Mass and material reductions — up to 30% lighter than conventional generators
  • Designed for the circular economy — Reduce, reuse and recycle at the core of the design.
  • Proven — demonstrated operation at small scale both onshore and in the harsh offshore wave environment

The impact is significant

  • O&M cost reduction potential
  • 30-50% reduced installation and transport costs
  • 10% Levelised Cost of Energy (LCoE) reduction
  • Enables localised manufacturing and supply chain growth in the UK & EU
  • CGEN offers a lower-cost, lower-risk alternative to conventional generator systems.
  • Accelerates time to deployment and reduces retrofit risk for asset owners
  • Designed to support circular economy principles; reuse, repair, and modular upgrade pathways

Invest in the future of sustainable modular power.

We’re currently seeking Seed investment from partners aligned with our mission. Investment will be leveraged alongside grant funding to reduce risk and accelerate deployment.
