As someone that used to help manage data-centers I think this is fine. I had to load test the generators quarterly. It's good to ensure the transfer switches and generators are working and nothing beats a real world load test. The data-centers have contracts with diesel fuel providers to keep the main tanks full. They can run on diesel any time the infrastructure load is high and write off the cost in their taxes check with your tax lawyer. There may even be other tax advantages being the need for generators would be compelled by the state, perhaps a tax lawyer could find ways to make a generator tech refresh get a bigger write-down, write off better noise abatement walls as usage will increase. If a company was running with scissors and did not buy enough generator capacity to run everything then they will have to get their act together now vs. later.
