PowerSecure, the distributed energy solution subsidiary of US utility Southern Company, has partnered with Edged Energy to supply critical electrical and mechanical systems for Edged data center operations in the US.

The six-year partnership coincides with the opening of the Edged Atlanta Campus in Atlanta, Georgia, Edged first in the North American market.

The Atlanta campus features PowerSecure’s PowerBlocks backup generation unit. The generators meet the Environmental Protection Agency's Tier IIII Final standard, which is the highest for stationary diesel engines.

The company claims that its generators have enhanced fuel efficiency, superior performance, and reduced environmental impact relative to other generators on the market.

“PowerSecure is proud to partner with Edged Energy to deliver innovative solutions to our customers while upholding a strong commitment to sustainability,” said Chris Cummiskey, CEO of PowerSecure. “As tremendous load growth affects utilities nationwide, we are excited to see PowerSecure emerging as a critical service provider in the data center landscape.”

The Atlanta Campus was initially launched in August last year when its first 27MW data center was powered up. At full build-out, the campus will offer 168MW of IT capacity.

Plans for the Atlanta facility were first shared in January 2023, when a building permit was filed to develop a 210,000-square-foot (19,500 sqm) two-story data center at Tilford Yard.

The company broke ground on the facility in July of 2023.

Edged Energy was founded in 2021 when it partnered with Merlin Properties to build data centers across Spain and Portugal. The company has data centers operational and in development across the US, including Missouri, Arizona, Texas, Georgia, Iowa, Ohio, and Illinois.

Just last week, Endeavour, Edged Energy’s parent company, announced a deal with Deep Fission, a small modular nuclear reactor developer, to co-develop 2GW of nuclear energy to supply Edged data centers in the US. The first reactors are expected to be operational by 2029.
