It is pretty common for cell towers to have backup power. Not all of them do, but many.

- mikestew 7y agoI'm assuming backup power is a diesel generator, though, right? My experience with long-term WA outages is that the diesel runs out in a few days, and no one comes to refill it. Amateur radio license: if my wife can pass the test, anyone on HN ought to be able to.
- dredmorbius 7y agoYou'll want to have a refueling SLA on that generator. The risk profile as of a month or so ago now includes short-notice extended multiple-day intentional power-outs from the utility service itself.
