Story by Generac

Generac, a leading global designer, manufacturer and provider of energy technology solutions and other power products, announced it has signed a global supply agreement with a leading hyperscale data center operator to supply backup power generators for the company's data center infrastructure.

Data centers underpin the digital infrastructure for banking systems, healthcare delivery, transportation logistics, emergency response, and the broader digital economy. Reliable backup power is the resilience layer that keeps these essential services running through grid disruptions, weather events, and high-demand periods.

The global supply agreement was awarded following a rigorous qualification process including multiple factory visits, performance and quality system reviews, and audits across Generac's broader vendor base.

"This agreement positions Generac at the heart of supporting essential services and the digital economy,” said Aaron Jagdfeld, chairman, President and CEO of Generac. “The successful navigation of this approval process solidifies our position as a top-tier supplier of large megawatt backup power generators and reflects the kind of relationship we expect will grow as the digital economy continues to scale.”

"Generac has been supporting mission-critical infrastructure for decades,” said Erik Wilde, executive vice president and president, domestic C&I at Generac. “Securing this agreement reflects our culture — an engineering-first organization focused on backup power, with the service capabilities required to support critical infrastructure at scale."

Generac has made a series of strategic investments to scale its Commercial & Industrial business and strengthen its global capabilities. Recent initiatives include the collaboration with EPC Power to deploy fully integrated energy solutions for data center applications worldwide, and the acquisition of Enercon, adding 50 years of expertise in generator enclosures and switchgear for mission-critical applications.

These efforts are complemented by the ongoing expansion of manufacturing and operational capacity at facilities in Beaver Dam, Oshkosh and Sussex, Wisconsin, as well as across key regions including APAC, Europe, the Middle East and Latin America, reinforcing Generac’s ability to support data center growth with reliable, end-to-end solutions on a global scale. Generac’s expertise is further demonstrated through the successful delivery of energy solutions for major colocator data center projects worldwide, supporting some of the industry’s leading operators in ensuring resilient, mission-critical infrastructure for rapidly growing digital economies.
