How Contmark is Powering the 2nd ASEAN-Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Summit

This might be one of the most important events this year for Malaysia. The 2nd ASEAN-Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Summit will be held in Kuala Lumpur 27 - 28 of May 2025. There can be no power outage as it would be detrimental to the proceedings. Everything has to work flawlessly.
In order to meet the need of power, plus having the peace of mind knowing that there is backup, specialists, like Contmark, are called into action.
Delivering the power needed, Contmark delivered several generators to provide a total of 2000kVA. The generators are synchronized to ensure a constant and consistent supply of power. Delivery of the units took place on 19th of May, ahead of the Summit in order to allow for testing and troubleshooting (if needed).
High profile events like the 2nd ASEAN-Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Summit require professionalism beyond the delivery of hardware. To be able to support an event like this, the appropriate paperwork will need to be in place ahead of time. Contmark's experienced team will be able to assist with applications, certifications and any other documentation required.
Contmark: The Power Behind the Summit
To ensure uninterrupted operations across the hotel’s expansive facilities, we’ve deployed 2 Unit 1000kVA diesel generators—strategically chosen for their efficiency, reliability, and environmental compatibility. Here’s why this setup is critical for the summit’s success:
1. Unwavering Reliability
Diesel generators are renowned for their durability in high-demand scenarios. With 20,000 delegates and staff attending, including heads of state and global dignitaries, even a momentary power disruption could derail critical negotiations. Our generators provide 24/7 backup, ensuring that AV systems, climate control, and security infrastructure remain operational.
2. Sustainability Meets Performance
Modern diesel technology prioritizes fuel efficiency and reduced emissions. Our generators utilize advanced combustion systems to minimize environmental impact, aligning with the summit’s sustainability mandate. This ensures that the event’s carbon footprint remains manageable without sacrificing performance.
3. Scalability for Dynamic Needs
The Mandarin Oriental’s diverse event spaces—from intimate boardrooms to the Grand Ballroom—require flexible power solutions. The 1000kVA units adapt seamlessly to fluctuating demands, whether supporting live broadcasts in the Plenary Theatre or powering kitchen operations for gala dinners.
4. Noise Mitigation for a Professional Ambiance
Luxury events demand quiet efficiency. Our generators feature sound-dampening technology to maintain the hotel’s serene atmosphere, ensuring that delegates can focus on dialogue without distraction.
