What the reviewed record shows
Amazon’s Hobart data center project page says backup generators run an average of less than 12 hours per year, mostly for testing. That statement describes Amazon’s operating experience or expectation; it does not replace the federal runtime categories. Genuine emergency use has no federal hourly ceiling, while maintenance and testing generally fall within a 100-hour allowance that includes a restricted 50-hour non-emergency subset.
