The state of Maryland has awarded a $1.8 million contract to TVI Corp. for 20 Mobile Emergency Power Systems.

The Mobile Emergency Power Systems will provide the state of Maryland with increased first response capabilities in the Greater Baltimore area for use when power outages occur as a result of WMD, terrorist attacks, accidents or natural disasters.

In the event of an incident, the system's primary function is to provide back-up emergency power. These trailerized systems come in both a 500 kilowatt, and 350 kilowatt configuration and are capable of powering mission critical government functions such as wastewater treatment plants, emergency management centers and water works.

The order was placed through Fisher Safety, a division of Fisher Scientific, one of TVI's national distributors. KW
