Under the terms of the deal, PowerSecure will design and implement a tailored standby power setup specifically for the Moses Lake campus.

The system will use PowerSecure PowerBlocks, which are modular and integrated power generation platforms combining onsite generation, controls, and electrical infrastructure.

This approach is intended to provide reliable backup power and enable scalability as the data centre expands.

Keel Infrastructure continues to invest in digital infrastructure development amid increasing requirements for stable and scalable energy provision within the sector.

PowerSecure president Jim Smith said: “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 Infrastructure operations executive vice-president Alex Brammer said: “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.

“PowerSecure’s solution is also aligned with our approach to responsible development, allowing us to meet our customers’ stringent availability requirements while minimising the impact on our grid infrastructure and environment.”

The planned infrastructure helps optimise energy usage during high-demand periods.

PowerSecure’s engineering and project delivery teams have worked to align the system requirements and delivery schedules for the site, with the aim of providing continuous performance and efficient installation.

The company has developed, installed, managed, and serviced more than 2GW of microgrid capacity and completed energy efficiency upgrades valued at over $900m.
