Georgia Power and the Atlanta Falcons Work Together to Deliver Backup Power Resiliency at Flowery Branch Campus
Georgia Power and the Atlanta Falcons announce a new collaboration on an advanced Distributed Energy Resource (DER) backup power resiliency system, utilizing industry-leading, customer-sited resiliency technology provided by PowerSecure, at the Falcons’ Flowery Branch campus. This project strengthens energy resiliency for both the team’s training operations and the nearby Emory Orthopaedic Center.
The Falcons’ DER is the first resource to enroll in Georgia Power’s DER Customer Owned (DCO) program and the first project of its kind for Georgia Power’s Resiliency Programs. As such, the Falcons’ DER will deliver resiliency to the Flowery Branch campus while also supporting Georgia Power’s efforts to enhance grid reliability and flexibility across the community.
“This project reflects our commitment to preparedness, innovation, and being a responsible community partner,” said Spencer Treadwell, senior vice president, operations and special projects for the Atlanta Falcons. “By working with Georgia Power to maximize the value of our campus resiliency solution at Flowery Branch, we are protecting our operations and neighboring medical facilities while also helping advance solutions that strengthen the electric grid for customers across our community.”
“We appreciate the Atlanta Falcons’ leadership and partnership on this project. Load flexibility and dispatchable DER help Georgia Power provide reliable, affordable power for all customers, and projects like this show how customer-sited resiliency solutions can strengthen the entire grid,” said Latanza Adjei, senior vice president of customer experience at Georgia Power.
Georgia Power has been a longtime energy provider and partner to the Atlanta Falcons and AMB Sports and Entertainment, collaborating on initiatives that advance operational excellence, sustainability, and community impact. This latest project reinforces that collaboration while demonstrating how innovative energy solutions can deliver shared benefits for customers, communities, and the electric system.
