PowerSecure partners with Edged Energy to supply backup generation for US data centers

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, coinciding with the opening of the Edged Atlanta Campus in Atlanta, Georgia, Edged first in the North American market.

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.”

Edged Energy was founded in 2021 when it partnered with Merlin Properties to build data centers across Spain and Portugal. 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.
