Abstract: A new family of generalized Pell numbers was recently introduced and studied by Br'od cite{Dorota}. These number possess, as Fibonacci numbers, a Binet formula. Using this, partial sums of arbitrary powers of generalized Pell numbers can be summed explicitly. For this, as a first step, a power $P_n^l$ is expressed as a linear combination of $P_{mn}$. The summation of such expressions is then manageable using generating functions. Since the new family contains a parameter $R=2^r$, the relevant manipulations are quite involved, and computer algebra produced huge expressions that where not trivial to handle at times.
