Data center backup power solutions | Bridging power for continuity

The power you need, when you need it
Powering data centers beyond the grid

With the rise in generative AI and specialized High-Performance Computing (HPC), the demand for data storage and cloud services continues to grow exponentially, making Data Centers’ access to reliable and continuous power more critical than ever. When local grids struggle to meet your rising energy demands, Aggreko's temporary power solutions deliver off-grid and on-site power availability for data center construction, commissioning and operation.

When the grid becomes a barrier

Relying on the local grid for power can limit your data center's competitive edge, reliability, service levels and sustainability. In grid-constrained environments, data centers face multi-faceted challenges associated with:

  • Capacity Limitations - With the grid as a bottleneck, it’s harder to operate, expand, and upgrade your data center to meet rising demand, reducing your ability to scale and compete.
  • Upgrade delays - Late infrastructure upgrades put costly, complex construction projects behind schedule, often at great expense.
  • High-emission power - New resource-intensive use cases like AI all come with increased energy consumption and, ultimately, higher emissions unless the grid introduces renewable sources on a mass scale.
Bridging the power gap with off-grid, decentralized solutions

We help data center owners, operators, and contractors overcome grid limitations with both short- and long-term bridging power solutions that enable continuous operations and performance, while minimizing environmental impact. Here's how we support your critical power needs:

  • Mobile and modular power - Get reliable, low-emissions power on demand with a turnkey solution using Aggreko’s mobile and modular Tier 4F generators, gas generators, batteries  and electrical distribution equipment working alongside or independently from the local grid.
  • Rapid deployment for fast scaling - Whether you’re dealing with peak demand periods or need prime power, our solutions can be quickly deployed and scaled up or down to support growth, prevent delays, and ensure uptime.
  • Custom-designed power systems - We tailor power solutions to your specific needs, from short-term capacity boosts to long-term support for new expansions. And, by right-sizing your power package, generators can be powered up or down automatically according to demand on-site, leading to maximized efficiencies, cost savings, and reduced emissions.
