Data Centers Can‘t Wait. Rental Power Shouldn’t Either.

Data center projects run on tight schedules, and power is rarely the only variable in play. Grid interconnect agreements can run two to four years out. Permanent generation equipment often has lead times that extend well beyond a project’s go-live date.

 Temporary rental power is a practical way to keep the site operational while the permanent solution catches up.

At this scale, the main consideration is whether the rental supplier can match the project’s load requirements in terms of fleet capacity, distribution support, and deployment timeline.

WPP can deploy parallel portable diesel configurations up to 40 MW in a matter of weeks, with the equipment and site support to back it up.

Volume, Capability, and the Support to Back It Up

Data center projects involve many stakeholders — data center owners, GCs, electrical contractors, and sourcing teams. WPP can work with any of them. We come in as the fast, reliable rental supplier for the generation piece, with the fleet and logistics to match the project’s actual scale.

What WPP brings to data center rental:

  • Parallel portable diesel rental configurations up to 40 MW, deployable in weeks
  • Individual diesel units from 20 kW to 2000 kW — scalable to the project’s exact requirements
  • Load banks from 100 kW to 2000 kW for commissioning, pre-energization testing, and reliability assurance
  • Distribution equipment — transformers, island panels, and switchgear — to support full site power delivery
  • Cabling, fuel tanks, containment, and site planning support
  • Flexible rental terms from short-duration commissioning windows to extended bridge deployments
  • 24/7 support and fast deployment

When Data Centers Call WPP for Rental Power

WPP supports a range of data center rental scenarios, from planned project timelines to situations that can’t wait:

  • Bridge Power — Permanent generation is on order but won’t arrive for months. WPP can keep the site live in the meantime, with rental diesel scaled to the project’s load requirements.
  • Commissioning Windows — Pre-energization testing and commissioning require temporary power on a fixed schedule. WPP can supply generation and load bank equipment to keep the commissioning team on track.
  • Construction and Fit-Out — Before permanent infrastructure is in place, the construction site still needs power. WPP can support the build phase with temporary generation so work doesn’t stop.
  • Emergency Response — Unplanned outages, equipment failures, or utility disruptions that can’t wait. WPP’s rental team is set up for fast deployment when the project timeline has no room for delay.

Rental and Permanent Generation — Through One Supplier

If your project needs both bridge rental power now and permanent generation on order, WPP can handle both sides. Our sales division supplies new stationary generators, including diesel units from 2MW to 4MW and natural gas units from 250 kW to 2.5MW. We typically deliver in roughly half the time major manufacturers require.

The two sides work together: one supplier, two solutions, one fewer coordination problem.

Common Questions

WPP can deploy parallel portable diesel configurations up to 40 MW. Individual unit sizes range from 20 kW to 2000+ kW. The right configuration depends on your load requirements, site conditions, and timeline — reach out and we’ll work through it with you.

Within WPP’s Gulf Coast service area, deployment can happen in a matter of weeks for large parallel configurations. For smaller or more straightforward requirements, response can be faster. We’ll give you a realistic timeline based on your specific scope and location.

WPP can supply cabling, distribution equipment, transformers, island panels, switchgear, load banks, fuel tanks, and containment alongside rental generation. The goal is to arrive with everything the site needs rather than leaving you to coordinate multiple suppliers.

Yes. WPP’s rental division covers temporary and bridge power. Our sales division supplies new stationary generators — diesel from 2MW to 4MW and natural gas from 250kW to 2.5MW — with competitive delivery timelines. The two sides can work together on the same project.
