Tier 4 Final Engines: Tier 4 Final Engines meet the strictest EPA emissions standards for non-emergency use. These generators can reduce emissions in comparison to emergency only tier 2 generators. Which means that PGA TOUR’s engines also allow the facility the option to participate in any future demand response programs for economic benefit.   

PowerControl® and Storm Mode: PowerControl’s 24/7 monitoring service, real-time alerts and continuous system performance tracking allow for resilience against even small outages and storm mode allows the facility to switch to generator power before grid issues arise during storms.

Scaling For the Future

The collaboration between the PGA TOUR and PowerSecure has resulted in a facility that meets the highest technical standards with energy reliability. PGA TOUR Studios is poised to become a benchmark for future media centers, showcasing the power of innovative solutions and collaborative efforts.
