Powering Communities. Protecting Families. Since 2005.

Meet Our Founder
Kenneth Grigsby
President & Founder
Kenneth founded Power Up Generator Solutions in 2005 with a simple belief: everyone deserves access to reliable backup power, regardless of their financial situation.
With over 20 years of experience in the generator industry, Kenneth has personally overseen thousands of installations across Kansas City, Oklahoma, and Florida. His hands-on approach means he still conducts many assessments himself, ensuring every customer gets honest, expert advice.
"I've seen families lose everything in a storm because they couldn't afford backup power. That's why we became a nonprofit—no commissions, no upsells, just fair pricing for everyone."
