CK Power is expanding its product lineup with the introduction of the 2G DR aura 412, a premier single-engine, 530 kWe prime-rated natural gas generator. CK Power will serve as the exclusive U.S. distributor, bringing this advanced power solution to customers facing increasing demands for reliable, flexible, and grid-responsive energy.
Built for demanding construction and industrial environments, the DR aura 412 delivers high-performance, fuel-flexible power for both onsite generation and grid-connected applications, including demand response. The generator meets EPA 1065, BlueSky, and UL 2200 standards, with approvals expected by mid-2026, and is compliant with NFPA 110, supporting modern infrastructure and evolving regulatory needs.
The DR aura 412 pairs a proven 2G V12 26.8L engine, widely deployed in combined heat and power applications, with a 480V, 60Hz, 3-phase, 1800-RPM generator, delivering 620 kWe standby / 530 kWe prime on natural gas, and 435 kWe standby / 370 kWe prime on propane. It features an integrated 2G Energy ECU and genset controller, AI-powered remote monitoring, dynamic fuel switching, and an intuitive 7-inch color display. Heavy-duty steel pistons and ultra-low emissions catalyst options ensure durability and compliance, while industry-leading 2,000-hour service intervals maximize uptime and reduce lifecycle costs.
Available in skid-mounted or containerized configurations with demand-response capability, the DR aura 412 is backed by CK Power’s reputation for fast on-site service and comprehensive support, delivering a modern, versatile power platform built for reliable jobsite and infrastructure performance.
“As infrastructure investment accelerates and the grid becomes more dynamic, customers need power solutions that are reliable, flexible, and ready to support grid services,” said J.J. Costello, Co-CEO of the CK Power Family of Companies. “The DR aura 412 delivers prime power performance while enabling demand response and grid flexibility, all backed by CK Power’s nationwide service network and decades of expertise.”
