Offshore wind seems to have them in case they get disconnected from the grid because they rely on some power to protect themselves from ocean air, and apparently a wind array in Scottland had some to keep the turbines from freezing over. Frankly though there just isn’t room in the turbine’s housing to keep a whole diesel engine, at least most of the time.
A quote directly from the order in question, oh how correct it is.
