Not every power challenge requires a permanent investment. Sometimes you need reliable generation capacity now — for a construction project, a grid outage contingency, a temporary expansion, or simply while you evaluate a long-term strategy. Empower IT gives you access to industrial-grade power generation without the capital expenditure, the lead times, or the ongoing maintenance burden of ownership.
We’ve partnered with one of North America’s most established power generation operators to deliver a rental program built for businesses that can’t afford downtime and don’t want to overbuy to get there.
Purchasing a generator fleet is a significant capital decision. It requires infrastructure planning, procurement lead times, maintenance staffing, and long-term fuel management. For many businesses, that investment makes perfect sense. But for others, renting is the smarter financial play — and a far faster path to power.
You’re not locked into capacity you don’t need, and you’re not left holding depreciating assets when your requirements shift.
Empower IT’s rental program is structured to meet you where you are, whether you need short-term bridge power, a long-term rental contract, or a managed Power as a Service arrangement where your only job is to use the electricity.
Our generation partner operates a fleet of more than 1,000 industrial natural gas-powered generators, supported by approximately 265MW of owned generation assets across North America. Units are available from 70 kW up to multi-megawatt configurations through paralleling, covering everything from single-facility backup to large-scale commercial and industrial loads.
Generators run on natural gas, wellhead gas, and propane. This makes them versatile across environments where diesel isn’t practical, pipeline access is limited, or emissions standards demand a cleaner fuel profile.
Every unit is purpose-built for heavy-duty, mission-critical applications. You’re not renting surplus equipment — you’re accessing a professionally managed fleet with 99.9% average uptime, 24/7 remote telemetry monitoring, and a full-service support structure that handles everything from delivery and setup to scheduled maintenance and emergency callouts.
We’re not sure if we need to rent or buy. Can you help us figure that out?
Absolutely — and honestly, that’s one of the most valuable conversations we have. Some organizations are clearly better served by ownership. Others are better served by a rental or Power as a Service structure. We’ll walk through your load profile, timeline, capital position, and operational needs and give you a straight answer. No pressure toward one outcome. Just the right one for your situation.
How large of a load can a rental program actually support?
More than most people assume. Individual units range from 70 kW to 350 kW, and through paralleling — essentially linking units together — we can configure multi-megawatt solutions from the same fleet. Whether you need backup for a single facility or generation capacity for a large commercial or industrial operation, the math works.
What fuel sources do these generators run on?
Natural gas, pipeline-spec gas, wellhead gas, and propane — giving you real flexibility depending on what’s available at your site. Not a diesel-only situation, which matters if you’re in an area with emissions constraints or simply don’t want to manage diesel logistics at scale.
Who handles maintenance? Do we need our own technicians?
Not your problem. Seriously. The rental includes planned preventative maintenance, emergency callouts, and unit swaps if something needs to come off-site. There’s also 24/7 remote telemetry monitoring on every unit — so issues get flagged before they become outages. Your team operates your business. Ours keeps the generators running.
What if my power needs change mid-rental?
That’s kind of the whole point of renting. Our program is built around the reality that load demands shift — projects scale up, timelines extend, circumstances change. Units can be added, swapped, or removed without renegotiating from scratch. You’re not locked into a static configuration.
How fast can we actually get a generator on-site?
Faster than you’d expect. Our generation partner maintains an active fleet across North America with field locations strategically positioned to reduce deployment time. Depending on your location and load requirements, we’re typically talking days — not weeks. If your situation is urgent, tell us upfront. We plan for that.
Renting through Empower IT means you get more than a generator on a trailer. The rental program includes end-to-end support: load sizing and application design, transportation to and from your site, unit setup and grid tie-in, preventative and planned maintenance, real-time monitoring through an onboard telemetry platform, and rapid unit swap capability if conditions change.
Your team doesn’t manage the generators. You manage your business.
Empower IT’s role is simple: assess your power needs, match you to the right solution from our partner network, and ensure you’re never paying for more capacity than you require. We don’t push one-size-fits-all answers. We build the right answer for your load, your timeline, and your budget.

This rental program is purpose-designed for organizations that need reliable, scalable power generation without the overhead of ownership. That includes commercial and industrial operators managing temporary capacity gaps, companies in construction, oil and gas, or infrastructure bridging to a permanent power solution, data center operators or co-location facilities seeking backup or supplemental generation, and any business where a grid outage isn’t an acceptable risk.
If your current power infrastructure has gaps — whether in reliability, capacity, or redundancy — renting is often the fastest and most cost-effective way to close them while you determine your long-term energy strategy.
