A majority of generator manufacturers rely on overseas equipment and factories for their production and assembly. The global pandemic has had an effect on production. This creates an uncertainty in the current lead times for new generators, which are already lengthy.
Approximate Lead Time for Factory New Orders:
100 kW – 450 kW up to 14 weeks
500 kW – 1000 kW up to 14 weeks
1250 kW – 3250 kW up to 22 weeks
* This is an overall estimate of many manufacturers. April 2020 Subject to Change
The first quarter of this year has already seen the temporary closure of some factories, while others are working with skeleton crews, making it probable that lead times will continue to grow. What is affected by delays in supply chain:
Raw Material Import Delays
Labor Shortages Due to Illness
Stay-at-home Orders on Non-critical Staffing
Transportation Constrained Availability
Local Electrical Contracting Schedules
Local Approvals/Permitting Delays
