Generac

This summer, Generac hosted educators as externs to connect educators with real-world industry experience. They saw firsthand how ideas become innovations and how problem-solving happens. (This pic is from STEAM Teacher Externship participant Bryce W.) These lessons won't end when summer does. They'll help students better understand the skills, mindsets and career opportunities that are shaping the future of manufacturing. 📝

Energy independence means something different depending on who you ask. Ask a homeowner and you'll hear "reliability." Ask a business owner and you'll hear "uptime." They're different answers, but the same expectation. People want energy that works on their terms. Not just when they need it, but in a way that gives them confidence, flexibility and control every day. That's where the future of energy is headed. More options. More resilience. More independence. (More Generac 😉)

Camping: yes. 🏕️ Missing the race: no. 🏍️ When quiet hours overlapped with the Prima PRAMAC Yamaha MotoGP race, one Generac employee used portable power to keep watching without disrupting the campground. That’s energy on your terms: reliable, flexible and ready to go wherever you do.

🌀 Myth: El Niño means fewer hurricanes, so the risk is lower. ⛈️ Reality: El Niño doesn't reduce weather risk. It moves it. A quieter Atlantic hurricane season can mean more flooding, stronger winter storms, extreme heat, and added pressure on the electric grid elsewhere. Weather changes. Risk remains. That's why resilience matters. Not because we know what's coming, but because we don't.

The best summer memories have one thing in common. You weren't thinking about the power. You were focused on family, friends and making the most of the moment. That's what reliability does. It stays in the background so life can stay front and center. As weather patterns become less predictable, preparing ahead isn't just about power. It's about protecting the moments that matter most.

What adds to a home value today? For years, the answer was simple: kitchens, bathrooms and curb appeal. Today, the answer might surprise you - backup power, battery storage, smart home technology and energy-efficient upgrades help homeowners stay comfortable, connected and prepared when life doesn't go as planned. Because home value isn't just about how a home looks anymore. It's about how it provides peace of mind. How do you think homeowner priorities are changing?

When it comes to backup power, one size doesn't fit all. Some homes require large-scale energy solutions engineered for unique property needs and serious power demands. This Generac industrial system was expertly installed by Mod Electric to deliver reliable backup power at scale. The power may go out. ⚡ Life doesn't have to.

At Generac, we think resilience is about more than keeping the lights on. It's about helping families prepare for the moments that matter most. That includes our pets. 🐾 When power outages occur, changes in routine, temperature and environment can create stress for animals just as they do for people. Taking a few simple steps ahead of time, such as keeping extra food and medications on hand, updating identification information and preparing an emergency kit, can help keep pets safe and comfortable during unexpected disruptions. How does your household prepare pets for severe weather or power outages? 🔗  We've shared a few tips in the comments. 👇

July marks one year since we opened our Beaver Dam, WI manufacturing facility. Over the past year, this facility has played an important role in expanding Generac's manufacturing footprint and supporting the production of a wide range of generator solutions to meet customer needs. Investments like Beaver Dam are about more than facilities. They're about building capabilities, creating opportunities and strengthening our ability to deliver the products businesses rely on when they need power most. As we reflect on the facility's first year, we're proud of what has been accomplished and grateful to the teams whose work brings the facility to life every day. Here's to the first year, and to what's ahead!

For this Washington, DC museum, backup power is about more than keeping the lights on. It's about preserving history. It houses artifacts that date back centuries, many of which require carefully controlled temperatures and humidity levels to prevent deterioration. As a result, a significant portion of the facility's climate control infrastructure needed to remain operational during an outage. That's where Generac stepped in. Working alongside project partners, Generac helped design a 3.2 MW Modular Power System featuring eight paralleled natural gas generators to support critical building operations, including the environmental systems essential to protecting the museum's priceless collection.
