As hyperscale and enterprise data centers increasingly adopt behind-the-meter natural gas power generation to avoid utility capacity constraints, new safety and resilience challenges are emerging. This article explores how evolving standards such as NFPA 850 and NFPA 59A are shaping fire protection requirements, why coordination between power-generation and data-center fire protection systems is becoming critical and how on-site LNG storage can help maintain power continuity during gas supply interruptions.
