Generac and EPC Power to Deploy Energy Solutions for Data Center Market
Generac Power Systems, a global designer and manufacturer of power generation and energy storage products and solutions, and EPC Power Corp., a manufacturer of advanced grid-forming power conversion systems, recently announced their cooperation to deploy fully integrated energy solutions for the data center market. These systems will feature Generac SBE Block battery systems, Generac ARC Controller and EPC Power M-System inverters to create the ecosystem required by AI data center infrastructure developers and owners.
The integrated energy solution from Generac and EPC Power will address both customer demand for energy innovation and grid operator emerging requirements for interconnection to deliver the power necessary to meet unprecedented data center growth.
“Data center customers don’t just need more power — they need smarter, fully integrated energy solutions that perform seamlessly under extreme and rapidly changing conditions,” said Erik Wilde, executive vice president and president, domestic C&I at Generac. “This collaboration with EPC Power allows us to deliver end-to-end, behind-the-meter solutions that meet evolving utility requirements while supporting the performance demands of AI workloads. We’re excited by the opportunity to work alongside EPC Power to translate this technology into real-world solutions for the data center market.”
“AI is fueling rapid data center growth, creating massive power challenges. Traditional systems can’t keep up with dynamic, high-density AI workloads,” said Jim Fusaro, CEO of EPC Power. “Our collaboration with Generac represents a powerful alignment of expertise and vision. Together, we are advancing digital power infrastructure that delivers the resilient, secure and highly adaptive performance modern AI workloads require, responding in real time to shifting demands, whether operating with or without active grid support.”
Generac will utilize EPC Power’s inverters alongside its battery system and advanced controllers to deploy fully integrated solutions capable of ultra-fast response times, enabling load smoothing for AI data center applications with ride-through and recovery capabilities to meet utility requirements and provide continuity during grid disturbance events. These behind-the-meter energy solutions will enable seamless integration with onsite generators, turbines and other resources in grid-tied or off-grid applications to meet the demands of hyperscale computing.
