US energy technology firm Generac has signed a global supply agreement with an undisclosed hyperscale data center firm to supply backup generation infrastructure.

The amount of generation capacity to be supplied to the hyperscaler has not been disclosed. The company stated that the agreement was signed following a qualification process that included 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."

Founded in 1959, NYSE-listed Generac provides power generation equipment, energy storage systems, energy management devices and solutions serving the residential, commercial, data center, telecom, rental, and industrial markets. The company has manufacturing plants in Beaver Dam and Sussex, Wisconsin.

Last year, the firm launched a new range of five generators, ranging from 2.25MW to 3.25MW, targeting the data center space. The company said it can offer lead times of 50-60 weeks for fully packaged generators.

In a November 2025 investor presentation, the company said it had a data center product backlog totaling more than $300 million.

Earlier this year, the company acquired Enercon, a maker of generator enclosures and switchgear, to expand its data center capabilities.
