Amazon has contracted with Generac to supply industrial backup generators for its data centers, reflecting the need for reliable power at large-scale computing facilities.

Initial deliveries are valued at about $2.4 billion for 2027 and 2028, with potential longer-term sales reaching $8 billion. The agreement is tied to Generac’s plans to expand large-megawatt generator manufacturing, while reported data-center lead times of 50 to 60 weeks illustrate the supply-planning challenges involved. The relationship connects hyperscaler demand and outage-sensitive workloads with the production capacity needed to provide backup power.
