WPP — Houston-based and serving the Gulf Coast region — supports large-scale power projects across data centers, industrial and commercial facilities, municipal infrastructure, and other power-intensive applications. Whether the need is permanent generation, rental bridge power, distribution equipment, or full project coordination, WPP can help build a plan that fits the scope.
Large Power Projects Need More Than Equipment
When a power project grows beyond what a single generator can cover, the challenge shifts. It’s no longer just a question of whether the equipment is available. It’s whether the full power plan can be pulled together — generation, distribution, testing, site logistics, and project schedules that don’t move.
Large power projects typically involve many moving pieces at once: generators, transformers, panels, distribution equipment, cabling, load banks, fueling, containment, and testing. Each piece needs to show up in the right place, at the right time, with the right specs.
WPP’s value is in helping project teams move from a power requirement to a practical execution plan — with the equipment, sourcing relationships, and project experience to back it up.
What WPP Supports at Multi-Megawatt Scale
Generator Sales — Permanent Generation
For projects requiring permanent power generation, WPP supplies new stationary generators through our IGSA distributorship — including diesel units from 2MW to 4MW and natural gas units from 250 kW to 2.5MW — with delivery timelines competitive with or faster than most of the market.
Generator Rental — Bridge Power and Temporary Generation
WPP’s rental fleet supports temporary power for planned outages, bridge coverage, commissioning requirements, emergency response, and project-based operations. For large-scale applications, WPP can deploy parallel portable configurations up to 40 MW in a matter of weeks, with the distribution equipment, fuel logistics, and site support to back it up.

Rental capabilities include:
- Diesel generators from 20 kW to 2000+ kW
- Parallel configurations for larger temporary power requirements
- Load banks from 100 kW to 2000 kW for testing and commissioning support
- Cabling, fuel tanks, containment, and site planning support
- Flexible rental terms from short-duration windows to extended project timelines
Power Distribution Equipment
For larger projects, the distribution side of the power plan is often where the complexity lives. WPP can supply distribution equipment alongside generation — including transformers, island panels, distribution panels, transfer switches, and cabling — helping ensure generation capacity and distribution specs are planned together rather than separately.
Load Bank Testing and Commissioning Support
Critical facilities and data centers often have narrow commissioning windows. WPP can support testing and commissioning timelines with load bank equipment, temporary generation, and site coordination so the commissioning team has what it needs when the window opens.
Turnkey Project Coordination
WPP is more than an equipment supplier. Depending on project scope and location, we can support planning, equipment supply, installation coordination, commissioning, and lifecycle support — helping project teams reduce vendor complexity and maintain clear accountability from start to finish.
Industries WPP Supports at Multi-Megawatt Scale
Data Centers
Data center projects run on tight schedules with narrow commissioning windows and power requirements that can reach significant scale. WPP supports data center project teams with permanent diesel and natural gas generation, rental bridge power, distribution equipment, and load bank and testing coordination.
Industrial and Commercial Facilities
Planned shutdowns, utility delays, facility expansions, and system upgrades don't wait for a slow procurement process. WPP helps industrial and commercial facility teams move quickly with rental power, permanent generation, distribution support, and turnkey coordination that keeps production running and projects on track.
Municipal Infrastructure
Municipal projects require procurement simplicity, long-term maintainability, and equipment that won't create problems down the road. WPP supports municipal teams with permanent and temporary power, turnkey project coordination, TIPS purchasing eligibility, and open-protocol controls that any future service provider can work with.
Other Large Power Users
WPP supports large power requirements across many other applications — oil and gas operations, healthcare facilities, critical infrastructure, and large-scale construction projects among them. If the project involves significant generation or distribution requirements, WPP can help work through the options.
What WPP Brings to Multi-Megawatt Projects
WPP’s value is clearest when timing, site coordination, technical clarity, and equipment availability all need to line up at once — which is the situation many large power projects face.
- Generator sales, rental, service, parts, and turnkey support under one team
- Distribution equipment — transformers, panels, and switchgear — alongside generation
- One of the largest industrial generator inventories in Texas, reducing lead time risk when project schedules can’t wait on factory availability
- Built for fast deployment — so when a project window opens, the equipment and support are ready to move
- A multi-brand approach — no forced OEM path, just the right equipment for the application
- Experience across data center, industrial, commercial, municipal, and many other power-intensive applications
WPP on Complex, High-Stakes Power Projects
When a large private facility needed a standby system capable of accepting its full operating load in a single transfer step — on natural gas, within a constrained site — WPP designed and delivered a parallel configuration of two 1 MW generators with custom controls, integrated switchgear, and a third layer of redundancy built in.

Common Questions About Multi-Megawatt Power Projects
What scale of projects does WPP support?
WPP supports projects across a wide range of scales — from smaller temporary power requirements to large, complex generation and distribution needs. The right approach depends on load, voltage, site conditions, schedule, and whether the need is generation-focused, distribution-focused, rental, permanent, or a combination.
What types of MW-scale projects does WPP support?
Use cases include data center construction and commissioning, bridge power during utility delays, industrial shutdowns, commercial facility expansions, municipal infrastructure projects, emergency power needs, planned outages, and large temporary distribution requirements.
Can WPP supply both rental and permanent generation for the same project?
Yes. WPP’s rental division covers temporary and bridge power. The sales division supplies new stationary generators — diesel units from 2MW to 4MW and natural gas units from 250 kW to 2.5MW — with competitive delivery timelines. Both sides can work together on the same project.
Can WPP provide turnkey support?
Depending on project fit and location, WPP’s turnkey capabilities can include planning, site survey, equipment supply, installation coordination, commissioning, and lifecycle support. Turnkey field execution is concentrated in the Gulf Coast region.
Does WPP supply distribution equipment?
Yes. WPP can supply transformers, island panels, distribution panels, transfer switches, and cabling alongside generation equipment — helping ensure both sides of the power plan are coordinated from the start.
