Powering what comes next.
Data centers, AI infrastructure and industrial operators are facing power demands the grid wasn't built for. SDP Power keeps your prime, standby and co-generation assets online - engineered, maintained and dispatched 24/7 by certified technicians.
The new power reality
Power demand is exploding. Your infrastructure has to keep up.
U.S. electricity demand is forecast to grow faster in the next five years than it did in the last twenty - driven by AI compute, data center expansion, electrification and reshored manufacturing. SDP Power partners with operators who can't afford to wait on the grid.
AI & Hyperscale
Rack densities have jumped from 8 kW to 40+ kW. Generator plants need to scale and stay concurrently maintainable.
Edge & Colocation
Distributed compute is pushing critical load into facilities that were never designed for 24/7 prime power duty.
Grid Constraints
PSPS events, interconnection delays and rate volatility are making on-site generation a competitive advantage, not a backup plan.
The California grid problem
Higher rates. More outages. Longer interconnections.
California now has some of the highest electricity rates in the country - and the grid serving them is under pressure from wildfire shutoffs, aging transmission and multi-year interconnection queues. For operators who can't tolerate downtime or runaway energy costs, on-site generation has moved from a backup plan to a core piece of infrastructure.
Rising electricity rates
California commercial and industrial rates have climbed well above the national average, with repeated double-digit increases approved across the state's major utilities.
PSPS & wildfire shutoffs
Public Safety Power Shutoff events can de-energize entire circuits for hours or days during high-fire-risk weather - a recurring hit to facilities without a tested standby plan.
Interconnection & capacity limits
New service, panel upgrades and large interconnections are taking years in many SoCal territories, pushing operators toward prime power, paralleling and on-site generation.
We help facilities respond - hardening standby plants for PSPS season, commissioning prime-power and co-generation systems to offset utility load, and keeping every asset compliant with CARB and SCAQMD as run hours climb.
How we deliver
From assessment to 24/7 uptime
Scroll through our process - the steps progress as you reach each one.
What we do
Critical power services, end to end
From hyperscale data centers to hospital standby plants - every program is engineered to your redundancy, compliance and uptime requirements.
Data Center & Mission-Critical
Concurrent-maintainable service, NFPA 110 compliance and load bank testing for facilities that can't go dark.
Prime Power & Co-Generation
Continuous-duty diesel and natural gas systems engineered for high-runtime, high-load operation.
Standby Emergency Power
Preventive maintenance contracts that keep hospital, telecom and commercial standby plants ready.
Switchgear & Controls
Paralleling switchgear, ATS, engine controls and SCADA - the brain of your power plant.
Emissions & Compliance
CARB and SCAQMD compliance support, source testing and emission control system service.
Plant Assessments
Reliability assessments, gap analyses and capacity studies for growing critical loads.
Standby Emergency Power
Ready the moment the grid isn't
Hospitals, public safety, telecom, water and commercial real estate across Southern California rely on standby plants that have to start, transfer and carry full load on demand. We maintain, test and repair those systems so the first time they run under load isn't during an outage.
Preventive Maintenance
NFPA 110-aligned PM programs - oil and coolant sampling, fuel polishing, battery load testing and exercise runs under load.
ATS & Transfer Reliability
Service, repair and full new installs of ASCO, Russelectric, Cummins, Kohler and GE/Zenith automatic transfer switches.
Load Bank & NFPA Testing
Resistive and reactive load bank testing plus Level 1 / Level 2 EPSS documentation for AHJ and insurance audits.
