I was very impressed by the modest little fab I worked at having thousands of lead acid batteries for momentary takeover, and 8 five-megawatt locomotive engines for longer term redundancy. Apparently their steady state usage was 25MW, which allowed still having a hot spare and concurrent downtime for two of the locomotive generator units.
