Episode 86 of The Supply Chain Economy with Fexingo looks at a quiet explosion: US warehouses are installing massive diesel generators and battery banks to keep operations running during grid instability. Lucas and Luna trace the trend back to summer 2024's heat-wave-related blackouts in Texas and California, and link it to new data showing manufacturers' new orders up 4.8% year-over-year as of April 2026. They talk to the logistics director of a 1.2-million-square-foot facility in Memphis that spent $4.7 million on backup power after losing 72 hours of runtime in 2024. The hosts explain why this isn't just resilience—it's becoming a competitive advantage that landlords are factoring into lease rates. A short, sincere donation segment tied to the value of understanding these hidden shifts. #WarehousePower #BackupGenerators #SupplyChainResilience #GridInstability #ManufacturersNewOrders #IndustrialProduction #Logistics #Warehousing #Memphis #TexasBlackouts #BatteryStorage #DieselGenerators #EnergyCosts #LeaseRates #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Economics #SupplyChain Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
