Generator rental for shopping mall
Escalators, security, and food court continue operating in your shopping mall when the grid goes down, with a rented generator.
We serve the administration and building engineering of shopping malls, commercial centers, and outlets in all regions of the country. If your shopping mall already has its own generator, the rented one reinforces this equipment.
- Keep elevators, escalators, and CCTV running during a grid outage
- Cover the shopping mall’s fixed generator during maintenance or replacement
- Provide power for events and Christmas decorations

Which areas of the shopping mall feel the power outage?
In common areas, the power outage suddenly affects the corridors, food court, and parking lot.
Escalators and elevators
The power outage stops the escalators and can trap customers in the elevator until your team arrives.
Security and CCTV
Cameras, alarms, and access control need to stay on so your security team can monitor corridors and exits.
Food court
Without power, kitchen exhausts shut down and restaurants lose lunch or dinner sales.
Climate control of common areas
The climate control in the corridors stops along with the network, and the environment heats up quickly when the mall is full. If the air comes from a central chiller, we also rent the chiller.
Parking lot
In the parking lot, gates and payment kiosks shut down and the line of cars grows at the exit. In the uncovered area, you illuminate the lot with the lighting tower.
Corridors and stores
The corridor lighting, ambient sound, and shop windows go dark with the public inside the mall.
Black Friday Without Blackout: special conditions for generator rental contracts signed by 11/30.
See conditionsWhen does a mall that already has a generator need to rent another one?
Even with its own generator, your mall may need to rent generators in these situations.
Reinforcement of the fixed generator
If your generator only covers part of the common areas, the rented one takes over escalators, air conditioning, or a new wing.
Maintenance, replacement, or failure of the fixed generator
During maintenance, replacement, or a failure of the fixed generator, the rented one maintains the energy reserve of your mall.
Event and year-end decoration
With a rented generator, the Christmas decorations and the parking lot stage operate without taking power from the stores.
To reduce the electricity bill of the enterprise, learn about the case of a mall that saved with temporary energy.
How does the mall switch to the generator when the grid fails?
The mall switches to the standby generator in a matter of seconds, and the common areas regain power.
The generator is connected to the building’s electrical system through an automatic transfer switch, the ATS.
When the ATS detects a utility interruption, due to failure or scheduled shutdown, it activates the generator and transfers the load.
This also prevents voltage spikes and abrupt shutdowns from damaging the CCTV and elevator controls.
Automatic transfer requires the installation of an ATS, according to the project and commercial proposal.
What is the size of the power generator for a mall?
The size of the power generator for a mall depends on the areas that need to remain powered when the grid fails.
If you manage building engineering, send the list of these areas and our engineering team will calculate the power at no cost.
The page for generator rental shows the models, from up to 100 kVA to above 1,400 kVA.
In the fleet, there are diesel, biodiesel, natural gas, and biogas generator sets.
Our own logistics handles transportation from the nearest unit, installation, and load testing at the mall.
During the rental period, our team monitors the generator via telemetry and provides 24-hour on-call service.
Your mall on Black Friday Without Blackout
On 11/27/2026, Black Friday brings the day of maximum foot traffic to the corridors and food court.
In the campaign, generator rental contracts signed between 10/16 and 11/30/2026 have special conditions.
The conditions for your mall are determined through negotiation with the consultant, according to the project, timeline, and service region.
They are subject to credit analysis and availability and cannot be combined with other conditions or existing contracts.
The same generator can remain at your mall through the year-end holidays and the rains that follow.
You can read the regulations on the campaign page and see the other operations in power generator for Black Friday.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to rent a generator for a shopping mall?
The cost of renting a generator for a shopping mall is project-based. It includes the power in kVA, rental duration, fuel consumption, and transportation. Our engineering team calculates the power at no cost and sends the proposal with the price.
What is the generator power for a shopping center?
The power depends on the areas that need to remain operational, such as escalators, elevators, CCTV, food court, and air conditioning. Our engineering team calculates this at no cost, and the fleet has models above 1,400 kVA.
Does the rented generator start automatically when the shopping mall’s power goes out?
In stand-by mode, the ATS detects the power outage and switches the shopping mall to the generator in a matter of seconds. This automatic transfer requires the installation of an ATS, according to the project and commercial proposal.
Can I rent a generator only during the maintenance of the shopping mall’s generator?
Yes, you can. The period is defined with our consultant in the proposal, according to the duration of the maintenance or replacement of your fixed generator.
How long does it take for the generator to arrive at the shopping mall?
We inform the timeframe in the proposal, as it varies with the distance to our nearest unit. In an emergency, call our customer service center at 0800 772 1601.
