The PGA Tour Championship tournament said it has swapped diesel with renewable fuels for all onsite generation to power the East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta.

Renewable fuels are often produced from a combination of previously used materials, such as combining waste and residues with renewable and vegetable oils.

PowerSecure, a Southern Company subsidiary, will provide the renewable fuel.

“The deployment of renewable fuel at the PGA TOUR Championship represents a major milestone for PowerSecure and the energy users and producers we serve,” said PowerSecure CEO Chris Cummiskey.

The company previously partnered with the PGA Tour to Install distributed energy resources at PGA Tour headquarters in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida in 2021.

The 187,000 square foot facility incorporates a microgrid comprised of rooftop solar and natural gas backup generation.

PowerSecure has developed, installed, managed and serviced more than 2 GW of microgrid capacity over the past 20 years.
