In 2026, a 10kVA generator is the standard power solution for large Nigerian homes, gas stations, and medium-sized offices. These machines are designed to carry heavy loads, including multiple air conditioners, pumping machines, and industrial refrigerators.
At Kara, we provide a wide range of 10kVA generators, ranging from open-frame petrol models to silent diesel units.
The price of a 10kVA generator depends heavily on the fuel type and whether it features soundproof (silent) technology. Diesel generators are generally more expensive but offer longer lifespans for continuous use.
Note: Prices fluctuate based on the exchange rate and global shipping costs. For the most accurate daily , please check our live listings.
The Sumec Firman 10kVA series is the "workhorse" of Nigeria. It is relatively easy to maintain, and spare parts are available in every major city. It is ideal for construction sites or homes where the generator is kept in a separate, ventilated "gen house" to manage noise.
Thermocool generators are known for their optimized copper coils and better fuel economy. They often include advanced features like low-oil shutoff and digital meters to track running hours, which helps with timely maintenance.
For 24/7 industrial use, Mikano (often powered by Perkins engines) is the market leader. These are liquid-cooled engines designed to run for days without overheating. They are fully soundproofed and feature advanced control panels for automatic mains failure (AMF) integration.
A 10kVA generator (approx. 8000W - 9000W) can comfortably power:
Investing in a 10kVA generator ensures that your productivity never stops. While petrol models are more affordable upfront, diesel models offer the durability needed for the demanding Nigerian power environment.
