PowerSecure Partners with Keel Infrastructure

PowerSecure, a prominent subsidiary of Southern Company known for its innovative and resilient energy solutions, has recently announced a significant partnership with Keel Infrastructure. The collaboration aims to deliver a comprehensive backup resiliency solution for Keel's data center campus situated in Moses Lake, Washington.

This agreement marks a vital step forward as it aligns with Keel Infrastructure's ongoing expansion into the digital infrastructure sector. With the increasing demand for reliable and scalable energy solutions, both companies recognize the importance of fostering cooperative partnerships to meet the evolving needs of this critical industry.

Representatives from Keel Infrastructure recently visited PowerSecure’s microgrid at the Durham campus, allowing them to observe first-hand the innovative energy solutions that PowerSecure offers for supporting essential operations. This tour served to strengthen the partnership between the two organizations and highlight their mutual commitment to offering advanced energy solutions for mission-critical applications.

Jim Smith, President of PowerSecure, emphasized the project’s significance, stating, "This project underscores PowerSecure's ability to deliver flexible, resilient energy solutions with speed and precision. By combining technical expertise with a highly collaborative approach, our team developed a tailored solution that meets Keel's immediate needs while positioning them for future growth."

Keel’s Executive Vice President of Operations, Alex Brammer, underscored the necessity for dependable power. He stated, "Reliable power is the foundation of everything we build at Keel Infrastructure, and this 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."

Under the terms of the agreement, PowerSecure will design and provide a customized standby power solution specifically tailored to the Moses Lake campus. This solution aims to ensure operational continuity while allowing for long-term flexibility as the site continues to expand.

The energy solution is strategically designed for scalability, incorporating PowerSecure's PowerBlocks®, which are modular, integrated power generation systems. These systems combine onsite generation, controls, and electrical infrastructure to offer robust backup and resilient energy support for essential facilities. The flexible architecture of this solution prepares the campus for future capacity needs as it develops, while also facilitating peak shaving capabilities—an important feature that aids in optimizing energy use during high-demand periods.

The partnership, established earlier this year, has progressed rapidly. PowerSecure swiftly aligned on system requirements and delivery timelines for the Moses Lake operation, deploying an integrated engineering and project delivery team to ensure reliable performance and a streamlined execution process.

The Moses Lake project further solidifies PowerSecure's reputation as a trusted partner in the mission-critical infrastructure market. It also showcases the company’s expertise in addressing the rapidly evolving requirements of the data center industry.
