Portable generators provide electricity by running a fuel-powered engine that turns an on-board alternator to generate electrical power. Power outlets on the unit allow you to plug extension cords, electric-powered tools and appliances into it.
Portable generators are not permanently installed and can be moved from place-to-place. Different types of portable generators are better suited for certain tasks and range in size, weight, and capability. Contact Central Texas Electric Co-op, a qualified vendor or electrician to help you determine what generator is best suited to your needs.
