he Edan Group International SAL has installed 5 x KD1400 Rehlko diesel generators at the UNIFIL Headquarters on the southernmost Lebanese border, ensuring uninterrupted power and operational reliability where the military needs it most.
A spokesman from Edan comments:
“Our engineers and technicians worked tirelessly - often sleeping on site - to deliver this project safely and with a determination which rose above the sounds of conflict surrounding them - proving that dedication outlasts every challenge.”
UNIFIL (United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon) is a peacekeeping mission established by the United Nations Security Council in 1978 to monitor the cessation of hostilities and support the Lebanese government. Its headquarters is located in Naqoura, Lebanon, which serves as the main operational centre for coordination and communication among UNIFIL units and local authorities. The mission aims to restore international peace and security in southern Lebanon, particularly in the context of ongoing conflicts with Hezbollah and other armed groups.
More than a million people in Lebanon have already been displaced and over 900 killed as Israel intensifies its offensive against Hezbollah.
The latest round of violence erupted on 2 March when the group launched missiles into northern Israel in support of its ally, Iran, which had come under US-Israeli attack four days earlier. Israel responded with full force, launching hundreds of strikes across Lebanon, mostly concentrated in southern Lebanon.
Maintaining reliable backup power generators for the site is crucial. The UNIFIL headquarters in Lebanon has been attacked multiple times. UNIFIL positions have come under attack at least 20 times since the Israel ground incursion began in early October 2023. Additionally, there have been 270 instances of bombardment of UNIFIL compounds and vehicles reported by Amnesty International. The situation remains tense, with ongoing attacks and threats to peacekeepers.

The gensets are designed to deliver power in a variety of emergency and prime applications, ensuring that they can handle the toughest conditions. The generators are built to tough industry testing and quality standards, offering high starting and loading capacity according to ISO8528-5.

They are available in a wide range of sizes, from 6kVA to over 3000kVA, catering to different power needs and applications. The generators are designed to provide massive power options, making them ideal for military bases, hospitals, factories, data centres, airports, and more.
The KD1400 model is part of the Rehlko KD Series, which is recognised for its reliability and performance. The wide controller range allows for easy programming, management, and diagnosis, making it efficient to operate. Additionally, the generators come with a standard three-year or 1000-hour limited warranty for standby applications and a standard two-year or 8700-hour limited warranty for prime power applications.
A spokesman comments:
“Overall, the KD1400 Rehlko diesel generators are a testament to Rehlko’s commitment to excellence in the generating set market, providing power solutions that are both efficient and dependable.”
