Project Highlight

Mike Capital Imports is proud to present one of our most prestigious and technically sophisticated accomplishments — the successful delivery, installation, and commissioning of a 1200 KVA Heavy Duty Industrial Generator for Skylight Hotel, one of Ethiopia’s largest, busiest, and most internationally recognized five-star hotels.

This generator plays a critical role in ensuring that Skylight Hotel — operated by Ethiopian Airlines Group — maintains its reputation as a world-class destination for international travelers, diplomats, airline crew, events, business conferences, and VIP guests.

Project Overview

Client: Skylight Hotel (Ethiopian Airlines Group)

Location: Airport Area, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Delivered Power System:

1 x 1200 KVA Heavy Duty NOOR Generator
Powered by Perkins UK Engine, coupled with high-grade alternator & DEEPSEA UK control panel.

Purpose:

To provide uninterrupted, high-capacity power backup capable of supporting the full operational load of a mega-scale five-star hospitality complex.

Why This Project Unique

Skylight Hotel is not a standard commercial building — it is a landmark hospitality infrastructure, one of the largest in East Africa. Supplying power for such a facility requires:
• Massive load capacity
• Perfect reliability
• Zero downtime tolerance
• International standard engineering compliance
• Silent, vibration-controlled operation suitable for luxury environments

A hotel of this scale operates 24/7 and houses:

✔ Restaurants & commercial kitchens
✔ Conference halls & event centers
✔ Elevators & HVAC systems
✔ Laundry systems
✔ High-occupancy guest rooms
✔ Aviation crew facilities
✔ Security systems

The 1200 KVA generator supplied by Mike Capital Imports ensures that every department runs seamlessly, regardless of grid fluctuations.

Engineering Scope of Work

1. Load Assessment & Technical Evaluation

Our engineering team conducted detailed site assessments to understand:

• Peak load requirements

• Diversity load factors

• Startup loads for HVAC, elevators & kitchen equipment

• Voltage stability needs

• Safety & compliance standards for hotel use

This guaranteed the selection of the correct generator size — 1200 KVA — with a safety margin for expansion.

⸻

2. System Design & Hospitality Standard Engineering

We custom-engineered a power solution that meets:

• Noise reduction requirements (critical for guest comfort)

• Stable frequency control (for sensitive equipment)

• Automatic Transfer System for immediate switchover

• High-efficiency cooling & ventilation

• Emergency lighting & fire safety integration

This level of engineering is essential for a five-star hotel.

⸻

3. Secure Heavy Machinery Handling & Delivery

The generator was transported and positioned using:

• Precision crane handling

• Certified rigging equipment

• Full site safety compliance

• Expert supervision by our technical team

Given the hotel’s active environment and ongoing operations, the delivery required meticulous planning and coordination.

⸻

4. Installation, Testing & Commissioning

Our installation team executed:

• Electrical cabling

• Control system integration

• ATS and synchronization testing

• Load bank testing

• Final commissioning reports

• Staff training on operation & safety

This ensured 100% readiness and operational reliability.
