Out here on the fringes of America if my power goes out I can put in a
request on-line on my phone, or call their hot (cold?)-line, to our
local co-op and within a short time a truck and crew show up to fix the
problem. And it is likely to be a young guy and his buddy who live here
on this island, and whom I let hunt on my vast estate. Any time, day or
night.

Natural gas for a rental won’t happen. They don’t exist, or if they do, I’ve never seen one. The availability of fuel and difficulty in establishing a connection makes it near impossible to do. The volume of fuel required for a decent sized set would require a large connection and completely different metering and regulation than what is used for residential or commercial buildings.
Any rental will be a trailer mounted diesel set. They will have to employ an
electrician to make the connection to their building.
Based on Gerry’s description, 10kW won’t come close to cutting it. With three
AC units and the remaining loads, I’m guessing a 50kW would probably be a unit
that would do the job. That’s a wild guess, of course, without having more
details. An X-ray machine is a really horrible, nasty load for a generator,
too. Huge inrush currents that make voltage regulators go crazy.
Ring Power is another possibility, but that’s the local Caterpillar guys and
they will be stupid expensive.

Most rental places around here have 10k diesel generators hanging around to be
rented, it'd be worth calling around. Often if they don't have one they'll
steer you to somebody who does.

Listers,
The local veterinary who has a 10-20,000 square foot animal hospital has had a
failure of the power companies line from the pole to the clinic.
He's essentially out of business with the computer system, xray system, and A/C
not working since the daily temps are in the 90F's around here.
Duke Power Company said they "would try to expedite" their repair order, but Duke has not
been "user friendly" in this area, so when it will get fixed is anyones guess.
His wife said they would rent a large portable diesel power until capable of
powering the whole clinic if one was available since they will be losing a
great deal of money every day they are down, and the animals under their care
will be suffering.
Does anyone know what a company that rents portable power units would be called
and how listed on the internet?
They have three large A/C units, and probably use an equal amount of power or
more for other systems in the hospital.
Thanks,
Gerry
