PowerSecure, a distributed energy infrastructure company and subsidiary of Southern Company (NYSE: SO), has entered into an agreement with Keel Infrastructure (NASDAQ/TSX: KEEL) to supply a backup power solution for the latter's data center campus in Moses Lake, Washington.
The project calls for PowerSecure to design and deliver a standby power system utilizing its PowerBlocks modular power generation units, which integrate onsite generation, controls, and electrical infrastructure. The solution is designed to be scalable for future capacity needs and enables peak shaving to optimize energy consumption during high system load periods.
The partnership between the two companies was established earlier this year, after which PowerSecure deployed an engineering and project delivery team to support the initiative.
"This project underscores PowerSecure's ability to deliver flexible, resilient energy solutions with speed and precision," said Jim Smith, president of PowerSecure.
Alex Brammer, executive vice president of operations at Keel Infrastructure, said the solution "gives our Moses Lake campus the resiliency and operational continuity our customers depend on at a time when firm power solutions are increasingly critical."
PowerSecure has developed and installed more than 2 gigawatts of microgrid capacity since its founding. Keel Infrastructure develops and owns data centers and energy infrastructure for high-performance computing workloads, maintaining a development pipeline of 2.2 gigawatts with grid interconnections across Pennsylvania, Washington, and Quebec.
