Apparatus for producing uninterruptible power upon loss of power from an electric grid, comprising at least one hot standby organic Rankine cycle turbine system including a vapor turbine and a generator for producing power upon loss of power from the electric grid; a control unit for sensing loss of power from the electric grid and activating the hot standby organic Rankine cycle turbine system; and means for rotating the turbine when power is available from the electric grid. In addition, a method for producing uninterruptible power upon loss of power from an electric grid, said method comprising the steps of: providing at least one hot organic Rankine cycle turbine system including a vapor turbine and a generator for producing power upon loss of power from the electric grid; sensing loss of power from the electric grid and activating the hot standby organic Rankine cycle turbine system; and rotating the turbine in the hot standby organic Rankine cycle turbine system when power is available from the electric grid.
