The market was valued at USD 352.0 million in 2025. The US Department of Energy reported on 20 December 2024 that data centers used about 4.4% of US electricity in 2023 and could reach 6.7% to 12% by 2028. Operators commissioning that capacity need load banks to prove their power systems work. On 13 January 2026 Avtron Power Solutions added two high-capacity liquid-cooled load banks, the LC35 and LC20, which it describes as designed for commissioning and maintenance of liquid-cooled data centers. Grid loads are rising as well. The US Energy Information Administration reported on 15 October 2026 that PJM, ERCOT and SPP all set summer 2026 peak load records, with PJM reaching 162.6 GW on 2 July 2026.

A load bank is bought or rented to prove that a power source can carry its rated output. Demand therefore follows the building, upgrading and maintenance of generators, UPS systems, batteries and switchgear, not the price of any commodity. Avtron's liquid-cooled range has no fans. The company says this lowers the clearance needed for hot-air discharge at space-constrained data center sites. Rental is the other large channel. Sunbelt Rentals offers DC, inductive, resistive and resistive-reactive categories. Its range runs from 10 kW rack-mounted units to 6,250 kVA resistive-reactive banks. Aggreko offers a 3,300 kVA resistive-reactive load bank. Buyers who test a few times a year can rent, while operators with frequent commissioning programmes buy. Capital spending on data center power equipment therefore feeds load bank demand directly.

Key Market Trends & Insights

• Avtron says either of its new LC35 and LC20 models can connect and control up to 250 liquid-cooled and air-cooled Avtron load banks.
• Crestchic Loadbanks has moved closer to data center clusters. On 18 June 2026 it joined the Swedish Data Centre Industry Association, after opening premises in Arlandastad to serve data centre testing work in Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark.
• Grid stress lifts the value of generation that has been proven to work. The US Energy Information Administration reported new summer peak records of 91.1 GW in ERCOT and 58.0 GW in SPP.

Regional Highlights

• North America: Avtron, with a factory location in Cleveland, Ohio, and Trystar, based in Faribault, Minnesota, both sell load banks for data center commissioning.
• Continental Europe: Germany's Bundesnetzagentur announced on 3 November 2026 that its first long-term capacity auction awarded 11 bids totalling about 5,160 rMW under the Electricity Supply Security and Capacity Act. That new firm capacity will need acceptance testing.
• United Kingdom: Crestchic builds containerised load banks at Burton-on-Trent. Power Prove, a division of Cressall, builds AC and DC load banks in Leicester.

Analyst Perspective

“Load banks sell on commissioning calendars, not on commodity cycles. The 2026 pattern is a shift from air-cooled resistive units toward liquid-cooled and networked fleets for data centers, alongside steady testing demand from generator owners, marine operators and battery projects. Buyers should compare control software, cooling method and rental availability as closely as the kW rating, because a bank that cannot be linked into a single control panel slows a large commissioning job.”

How is the Load Bank Market segmented?

• By current: AC and DC
• By type: Resistive/Reactive Load Bank, Resistive Load Bank and Reactive Load Bank
• By end use: Power Generation, Data Centers, Transmission & Distribution, Oil and Gas and Others
• By region: North America and Europe

Why does AC lead by Current in the Load Bank Market in 2026?

AC accounts for 63.0% of the Load Bank Market by current in 2026. Generators, UPS systems and switchgear deliver alternating current, so most acceptance and maintenance tests use AC banks. Avtron says its resistive load banks test AC loads at unity power factor to verify output. The same resistive range runs from about 25 kW to 5,000 kW across portable, trailer-mounted and permanent formats ^[1]. The AC range also reaches high voltage. Avtron offers a medium-voltage model for testing up to 13.8 kV, with ratings up to 7,500 kW ^[10], and Crestchic offers medium-voltage banks up to 33 kV in one ISO container ^[13]. Simplex lists units from 500 watts to 5 megawatts, with AC voltages to 15 kV ^[11]. DC holds the remaining 37.0% because battery and storage projects need a different test. Avtron offers battery discharge, energy storage system validation, fuel cell and charger testing as DC uses, with permanent models from 40 VDC to 1,500 VDC ^[2]. The US Energy Information Administration reported on 30 October 2026 that over 16% of new utility-scale solar capacity added in 2026 has co-located battery storage ^[26]. That share was 2% in 2017 ^[26]. That widens the base of DC systems to commission energy storage.

Why does Resistive/Reactive Load Bank lead by Type in the Load Bank Market in 2026?

Resistive/Reactive Load Bank accounts for 49.0% of the Load Bank Market by type in 2026. Generators are usually rated below unity power factor, commonly 0.8, so a test with an inductive element sits closer to real duty than a purely resistive one. Avtron describes its resistive-reactive range as covering inductive, capacitive and resistive-reactive loads for non-unity power factor tests, with power factor set through its SIGMA control ^[9]. Aggreko's 3,300 kVA bank is rated at a 0.8 power factor, giving 2,640 kW of active power at 480 V ^[18]. Large commissioning jobs use the combined type. Crestchic supplied two 6 MVA, 480 V resistive-reactive load banks, 12,000 kVA in total, to test six 9.5 MVA generators aboard the Noble Sam Croft drillship, a project reported on 30 June 2026 ^[16]. On 20 October 2026 Crestchic reported that two 30 ft containerised 6,250 kVA units had passed a 100% load test in the United Kingdom before shipment to a Taiwan shipyard ^[14]. Crestchic also offers resistive-only banks from 10 kW to 6,000 kW ^[13]. Avtron also offers reactive-only models, including inductive and capacitive banks ^[9].

Why does Power Generation lead by End Use in the Load Bank Market in 2026?

Power Generation accounts for 38.0% of the Load Bank Market by end use in 2026. Power Prove offers load banks for testing diesel generators and gas turbines ^[19]. Avtron, Simplex and Crestchic all sell units from small portable banks to several megavolt-amperes ^[1][11][13]. New plants and standby generator sets are tested at acceptance, then at intervals. Data Centers hold 22.0%. Avtron's liquid-cooled page names data centers as a key application ^[3], Trystar lists data centers among the industries it serves ^[21], and Crestchic's Nordic regional manager said on 18 June 2026 that every data centre must have its power infrastructure commissioned, load-tested and retested regularly ^[15]. Transmission & Distribution, Oil and Gas and Others follow with 16.0%, 13.0% and 11.0%. In the Noble Sam Croft drillship testing, Crestchic said load bank tests confirm critical power equipment can perform at full capacity ^[16].

What are the key drivers, restraints and opportunities?

Driver

Data center commissioning. Each facility must prove its generators, UPS and cooling under load before handover. Avtron announced the LC-20 on 15 October 2024, a 500 kW liquid-cooled load bank for data centers adopting liquid cooling, with control resolution as fine as 5 kW ^[7]. The company added the LC35 and LC20 range on 13 January 2026 ^[4]. The US Department of Energy reported on 20 December 2024 that data centers used about 4.4% of US electricity in 2023 ^[23].

Generation and grid reliability. Grids running near their limits make proven generator readiness more valuable. Summer 2026 peak loads in PJM, ERCOT and SPP set new records ^[24]. In Germany, the Bundesnetzagentur announced the first results of its long-term capacity tender on 3 November 2026 ^[25]. Marine and offshore owners also test before deployment. Crestchic's commissioning of generators aboard the Noble Sam Croft on 30 June 2026 is one example ^[16].

Restraint

Rental substitution. Many buyers test only a few times a year, so they can lease capacity instead of owning it. Aggreko offers resistive-reactive banks on lease, with several units linkable from one control panel ^[17]. Sunbelt Rentals also rents DC, inductive, resistive and resistive-reactive banks ^[22]. Rental fleets spread equipment cost across many jobs, which limits new unit sales to end users.

Specification diversity. Load banks are rated by voltage, frequency, power factor and cooling method, so one product does not fit every site. Aggreko's 3,300 kVA unit is rated 2,292 kVA at 400 V and 50 Hz, but 3,300 kVA at 480 V and 60 Hz ^[18]. Avtron's LC35 is built to CE standards, while its LC20 is offered in UL or CE versions ^[4][7]. Suppliers must keep several variants, which raises inventory and engineering cost.

Opportunity

Liquid-cooled and networked systems. Avtron says its liquid-cooled banks can be drained between jobs to avoid cross-contamination ^[3]. The LC35 can be stacked two high for transport and storage ^[4]. Suppliers offering liquid-cooled and air-cooled banks on one control platform can serve mixed data center sites.

Battery and storage testing. Avtron offers DC models for battery system commissioning and energy storage system validation up to 1,500 VDC ^[2]. Power Prove offers DC banks for battery discharge ^[19]. The power transformer market shows how another grid asset serves the same build-out.

United States

The US Department of Energy reported on 20 December 2024 that data centers used 176 TWh in 2023, about 4.4% of US electricity. That share could reach 6.7% to 12% by 2028 ^[23]. Operators building to that outlook must commission power systems before they go live, and load banks are used at that stage.

Grid peaks add a second demand driver. The US Energy Information Administration reported on 15 October 2026 that PJM reached 162.6 GW on 2 July 2026, against 160.6 GW on 23 June 2025. ERCOT reached 91.1 GW on 22 July 2026, against 85.5 GW on 20 August 2024. SPP reached 58.0 GW on 27 July 2026, against 56.0 GW on 21 August 2023 ^[24]. Each record raises the value of generators that can start and carry load.

Avtron announced a new factory location in Cleveland, Ohio on 20 December 2023 ^[8]. Trystar is headquartered in Faribault, Minnesota and offers portable, stationary, medium-voltage, trailer, resistive-reactive and DC load banks ^[21]. US buyers can choose between purchase and rental, since Sunbelt Rentals offers four rental categories ^[22].

Canada

Canadian buyers work to the same 60 Hz North American ratings as US buyers. Avtron offers 480 V and 600 V options at 60 Hz on its resistive-reactive 7000 series, and a 300 V/600 V option on its portable 100 kW resistive bank ^[1][9]. Canadian generator owners can therefore source standard units without special engineering.

DC load banks matter in the storage build-out. Avtron offers permanent DC models for battery system commissioning and energy storage validation ^[2]. On 30 October 2026 the US Energy Information Administration said co-location of battery storage with new solar is rising ^[26]. Storage projects in Canada need the same commissioning tests as those in the United States.

Rental availability shapes how remote sites test. Aggreko leases resistive-reactive banks that can be linked to one control panel ^[17]. Sunbelt Rentals offers resistive-reactive rentals up to 6,250 kVA ^[22]. A mining camp or pipeline station can book a bank for a short commissioning window instead of holding one in storage. Suppliers with units within transport range of those sites hold an advantage.

Mexico

Avtron announced a new load bank manufacturing plant in Reynosa, Mexico on 20 December 2023 ^[8]. The company said the Cleveland location would become a central hub for its North American operations ^[8]. The Reynosa plant places a major supplier near northern Mexican industry and US customers.

Mexican demand comes from generator testing and industrial plants. Power Prove, Simplex and Crestchic all offer generator-testing banks from small portable units to several megavolt-amperes ^[11][13][19]. Where plants rely on standby sets, an annual load test confirms the set can carry its rated output when the grid fails.

Avtron offers its LC20 at 500 kW or 720 kW, 415 V or 480 V, and 50 Hz or 60 Hz ^[3]. Operators that commission liquid-cooled halls can specify the same equipment they use elsewhere.

United Kingdom

Two of the profiled suppliers are based in the United Kingdom. Crestchic has a head office in Burton-on-Trent and was founded in 1983 ^[13]. It offers resistive-only banks from 10 kW to 6,000 kW and resistive-reactive banks from 50 kVA to 6,250 kVA ^[13]. Power Prove, a division of Cressall, is based in Leicester. It offers AC banks from 6 kW to 500 kW and DC banks from 70 A to 600 A ^[19].

Export work is part of UK activity. On 20 October 2026 Crestchic reported that two 6,250 kVA containerised units built in the United Kingdom passed a 100% load test before shipment to a Taiwan shipyard ^[14]. On 30 June 2026 it reported commissioning six generators aboard the Noble Sam Croft drillship, using 12,000 kVA of load bank capacity ^[16].

Crestchic also serves some markets from premises abroad, alongside its UK exports ^[13][15].

Germany

The Bundesnetzagentur announced on 3 November 2026 the results of the first long-term capacity auction under the Electricity Supply Security and Capacity Act ^[25]. The volume offered was 4,500 rMW. Bidders submitted 41 bids totalling about 11,958 rMW. The awards covered 11 bids totalling about 5,160 rMW, at an average volume-weighted price of EUR 155,296 per rMW per year ^[25].

Awards went to North Rhine-Westphalia, Brandenburg, Saxony, Bavaria and Baden-Wurttemberg. The agency said competition was intense between power plants and storage facilities ^[25]. Firm capacity must be proven under load before it is relied on, which adds work for testing companies.

Supply to German buyers comes mainly from CE-rated equipment, such as Avtron's LC35, a CE-standard 500 kW liquid-cooled bank for use across EMEA ^[4].

France

France follows the European 400 V, 50 Hz norm. Aggreko's 3,300 kVA resistive-reactive load bank is rated 2,292 kVA at 400 V and 50 Hz and weighs 9,000 kg ^[18]. Avtron's LC35 offers 400 V or 415 V at 50 Hz or 60 Hz in a CE-standard design ^[4]. A buyer in France should confirm that the rated kVA applies at the site voltage.

Crestchic offers a rental fleet that operates up to 690 V, and up to 36 kV with containerised step-down transformers ^[13]. Medium-voltage testing matters for large sites that connect at higher voltages, including marine and industrial plants.

Liquid-cooled banks are the product to watch in France. Avtron says many data centers now use liquid cooling, and that its liquid-cooled load banks can validate those systems during commissioning ^[3]. French facilities adopting liquid cooling would use these banks. Suppliers that can ship CE-standard units from stock have an edge in short-notice commissioning.

Italy

Italy sits in the same 50 Hz, 400 V European market as France and Germany. Avtron's LC35 is CE-rated and offered at 400 V or 415 V ^[4]. Aggreko's 3,300 kVA bank is rated at 400 V and 50 Hz ^[18]. Italian buyers can therefore source CE-rated equipment.

Marine and shipyard work is another outlet. Crestchic's 20 October 2026 report on two 6,250 kVA containerised banks sent to a shipyard, and its 30 June 2026 drillship testing, show how vessel builders use resistive-reactive banks to test onboard power plants ^[14][16].

Rental depots matter for sites that test once a year. Aggreko's 600 kW resistive-reactive unit can be linked with others and run from one control panel ^[17]. An Italian factory or hospital can therefore scale test capacity to its standby set. Buyers should check delivery times and local depot coverage before booking.

Who are the notable companies in the Load Bank Market?

Notable companies in the Load Bank Market include Avtron Power Solutions, Simplex, Crestchic, Aggreko, Power Prove, Trystar and Sunbelt Rentals.

Cooling method and control software separate the manufacturers. Avtron offers a broad range of resistive, resistive-reactive, DC, medium-voltage and liquid-cooled load banks, controlled through its SIGMA platform ^[9][10]. Hidden Harbor Capital Partners bought the business from Schneider Electric's ASCO Power Technologies division, with the deal closing on 30 September 2022 ^[6]. Avtron's website now states that it has been acquired by Legrand ^[10]. Avtron acquired Rx Monitoring Services on 25 June 2024 to add commissioning automation to its load bank testing ^[5]. On 4 June 2025 it won a Consulting-Specifying Engineer silver Product of the Year award for the LC20 and SIGMA Unity software ^[8].

Range and customisation divide the specialist makers. Simplex offers load banks from 500 watts to 5 megawatts per unit, AC voltages to 15 kV, DC voltages to 2,400 V, and air or liquid cooling ^[11]. Simplex appears among the brands of TerraVest Industries ^[12]. Load Banks Direct is among Trystar's brands ^[20]. Trystar sells portable, stationary, medium-voltage, trailer, generator-mounted, resistive-reactive and DC series banks, alongside broader power products for data centers, healthcare, military and utilities ^[21]. Power Prove focuses on smaller AC and DC banks and offers the DIGILOAD digital control solution ^[19].

Rental depth decides who serves one-off projects. Crestchic runs a rental fleet up to 690 V and up to 36 kV with step-down transformers ^[13], and builds containerised banks ^[13][14]. Aggreko leases resistive-reactive banks ^[17][18], and Sunbelt Rentals offers four load bank rental categories ^[22]. A buyer qualifying a supplier should compare the rental fleet, the control platform, local depots and the ability to ship the required voltage and frequency.
