From Outdated Generators to Smarter, Cleaner Backup Power For decades, diesel generators have been the default backup solution for data centres worldwide. But the energy landscape has changed — and diesel has become a strategic weakness. Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are a key technology in the energy transition, providing a flexible and sustainable solution […]
Batteries are now replacing diesel generators, and Microsoft has made the switch official. Microsoft has replaced a data center’s diesel-powered backup with a large scale battery energy storage system (BESS) issued by Saft, a TotalEnergies subsidiary. This battery energy storage system is a type of battery storage system, and Saft, the company providing the system,
In late April 2025, a massive grid failure plunged much of Spain and neighboring Portugal into darkness, causing flights and public transit to halt and forcing hospitals to rely on backup diesel generators to keep critical medical equipment running. This widespread blackout exposed the vulnerabilities of traditional power grids, especially as renewable energy sources like
Clean, Instant, and Scalable Power Without Compromise Diesel generators once defined backup power. Today, they define inefficiency. Our advanced Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), built on cutting-edge battery storage technology, replaces the noise, emissions, and maintenance burden of diesel with clean, instant, and scalable energy storage solutions. The result: zero on-site emissions, silent operation, and
