The Centralized Emergency Power Generator Facility is located at the University of Iowa’s Stead Family Children’s Hospital.

It is a large-scale generation facility.

This facility houses three 2-megawatt generators that supply emergency backup power to the hospital.

Each generator weighs 40,000 pounds. The generators distribute power throughout the hospital.

They can do this from over 1 mile away.

After a power outage occurs the power will be restored within 10 seconds.
