Stag Power Rentals dispatches trailer-mounted diesel generators from 20kW to 2,000kW out of our Dickinson, TX yard, with delivery available nationwide, for a diesel-only fleet that is load-bank tested before it ships. That fleet has covered refinery and industrial sites, municipal and parish government facilities, warehouses, commercial buildings, and emergency standby power, whether the rental was booked months out or arranged the day the power went out.
Chalmette is the seat of St. Bernard Parish and sits inside a levee-protected, below-sea-level area that includes the Chalmette Refining complex and other industrial and processing operations along the Mississippi River. What a Chalmette site needs depends on what is being powered, whether that is refinery-adjacent process equipment, a parish facility, a construction project, or standby capacity ahead of hurricane season. For guaranteed availability before storm season pressure hits, see our hurricane contingency power plan. For active outages, call 1-844-STAG-PWR, or request a quote online for planned rentals.
Chalmette combines a working refinery and industrial base with a flood history that includes some of the worst damage Hurricane Katrina caused anywhere in the region, and both of those realities shape what backup power planning here actually looks like.

Looking for a 20kW-2000kW Generator Near You?
Whether you are planning for an outage or have an emergency situation, we’re ready 24/7 to ship a generator that will meet your power requirements.
Chalmette’s refinery-adjacent industrial base and documented flood history drive the same generator demand we see across our home Gulf Coast market. Stag Power Rentals ships the same diesel-only, load-bank-tested fleet from 20kW to 2,000kW to St. Bernard Parish that we deploy nationwide, roughly 356 miles and 5 hours 20 minutes from our Dickinson, TX yard via I-10, covering refinery-adjacent industrial loads, parish government facilities, and drainage pump-station backup. Hurricane contingency reservations are available ahead of Gulf Coast storm season, and power distribution equipment, including cables, panels, and transformers, ships alongside every generator. Confirm current availability and lead time for your Chalmette location.
20kW-2000kW • Portable • Trailer • Skid • Diesel Generators
Stag Power Rentals supplies industrial and commercial diesel generators from 20kW to 2,000kW for refinery-adjacent sites, parish government facilities, warehouses, and construction and emergency backup power throughout Chalmette and St. Bernard Parish. Generators are dispatched from our Dickinson, Texas yard and delivered nationwide, sized according to connected load, startup demand, voltage, phase, and site access.
Chalmette is the parish seat of St. Bernard Parish, built around a Mississippi River industrial base that includes the Chalmette Refining complex, with the Valero Meraux Refinery a short distance away in neighboring Meraux. That industrial density, combined with a below-sea-level, levee-protected landscape, means backup power here has to account for both process-critical equipment and storm exposure. For immediate assistance, call 1-844-STAG-PWR or request an industrial generator rental quote.
St. Bernard Parish’s economy runs on the industrial corridor along the Mississippi River, anchored by the Chalmette Refining complex and reinforced by the Valero Meraux Refinery next door. Facilities that sit near or supply that corridor, whether processing, storage, logistics, or parish infrastructure, depend on power that does not fail when a utility circuit trips or a storm moves through.
Chalmette also carries a flood history few Gulf Coast communities can match. When Hurricane Katrina made landfall on August 29, 2005, a storm surge reported at roughly 25 feet overwhelmed the parish’s levees and left much of Chalmette under 14 to 15 feet of water, an event that emptied the community and reshaped St. Bernard Parish’s population for a decade. That history is why parish facilities, pump stations, and industrial operators here plan backup power as infrastructure, not an afterthought, and why generator capacity gets reserved ahead of a forecast storm rather than searched for once one has already formed in the Gulf.
Refinery-adjacent and industrial sites in St. Bernard Parish often run equipment with startup demand well above its running load, alongside process systems that cannot tolerate an unplanned interruption. Confirming voltage, phase, startup current, and runtime up front keeps a rental generator matched to the equipment it is meant to support.
Drainage pump stations and other parish infrastructure sit behind the same levee system that failed in 2005, and continuous power for those systems during a storm is part of what keeps the parish dry when the next one arrives. Stag supplies generator rentals for municipalities and government facilities and temporary generator solutions for water districts sized for exactly this kind of critical infrastructure load.
Correct sizing starts with the load itself, not the size of the building or site.
| Generator Capacity | Typical Power Requirements | Relevant Industries |
|---|---|---|
| 20kW – 45kW | Job trailers, lighting, tools, small retail and office loads | Local businesses |
| 100kW – 150kW | Commercial buildings, parish offices, HVAC and refrigeration | Commercial property |
| 300kW – 400kW | Warehouse and distribution loads, cold storage, processing equipment | Warehouse and manufacturing |
| 600kW – 800kW | Refinery-adjacent process equipment, industrial pumps and compressors | Industrial and processing facilities |
| 1,000kW – 2,000kW | Full-facility power, drainage pump station backup, critical parish infrastructure | Emergency response, municipalities and government |
Motors, pumps, and compressors common to refinery-adjacent and industrial sites can draw far more power at startup than during normal operation, and multi-building or campus-style facilities often need power split across several connection points rather than one. Stag supplies distribution equipment alongside the generator when a site needs more than a single connection.
Chalmette is approximately 356 miles from Stag’s Dickinson, TX dispatch yard, a drive of roughly 5 hours 20 minutes under normal conditions. The route runs east on Interstate 10 through Houston, Beaumont, Lake Charles, and Baton Rouge, then continues east past downtown New Orleans before transport reaches St. Bernard Parish by way of Judge Perez Drive, Paris Road (LA-47), or St. Bernard Highway (LA-46), the corridors that connect I-10 to Chalmette.
Sites near the Chalmette Refining complex or other industrial operations can involve controlled access, security clearance, or designated staging areas that should be confirmed before a transport vehicle is dispatched. Low-lying, levee-adjacent ground elsewhere in the parish can also affect where a generator and trailer can be safely positioned, particularly during wet conditions.
Longer rentals need a clear route in for refueling and service that stays open for the full length of the job, which matters most during storm season when road conditions and traffic patterns can change with little notice.
Stag supplies generator rentals for warehouse and manufacturing operations, municipalities and government facilities, water districts, and local businesses throughout St. Bernard Parish, alongside emergency and disaster recovery power for hurricane season. Nearby, Stag also serves the New Orleans metro area, including port, warehouse, and industrial sites along the Mississippi River.
St. Bernard Parish’s levee and floodwall system was substantially rebuilt after Katrina, but the parish’s flood history means backup power planning here is treated as standing infrastructure rather than a reaction to a forecast. Reserving generator capacity ahead of a storm through Stag’s hurricane contingency power plan sets a unit aside for a Chalmette site rather than leaving availability to chance once a storm has entered the Gulf.
