Power Capability Extension (PCE)

Power Capability Extension (PCE) seeks to manage the provision of General Purpose Power (GPP) between the end of the current provision for capability in July 2022 and the replacement provision, Manoeuvre Power (Man-P), in 2027 (estimated). GPP provides support for equipment including electrical power generators across the 2kW to 40kW range and electrical distribution equipment in 3 and 1 phase variants. It supports numerous applications in the Land Environment, to support command systems, communications equipment and deployable medical facilities. GPP is required in diverse climatic conditions across the world for extended periods and is therefore a key component of the Army's operating capability. The capability is currently provided through two contracts; a Private Finance Initiative (PFI) and a Contracting For Availability (CFA) service, both using Prime Contractors.
