This 8 acre blank canvas located next to the new AWS Data center at 2335 Echo Rd offers an array of possibilities for a savvy developer. This site could be the ideal location for a Battery Energy Storage System located adjacent to the Amazon Data Power Substation. This location could support a 300MW-1450 MWH modular BESS in time for the scheduled 2028 startup for at least 4 hours during a total outage of the power grid. Climate change and residential demand can force a 24/7 300MW facility to shave the peaks, fill the troughs and provide instantaneous power back-up response well ahead of the power grid still under construction. Note that the core of Georgia Power's 10GW expansion at Plant Wansley is not scheduled to be online until 2029-2031to serve all new data centers under construction in Georgia. If recent history is a prediction of the future, the planned power expansion can be subject to lengthy delays. A BESS can also provide nearby residents peace of mind from the noise of emergency power generators within the AWS Data campus for short duration emergency power requirements.
