▲Georgia Power has collaborated with Georgia Tech for the opening of the 1.4 MW microgrid project in Tech Square at Spring and 5th streets in Midtown. Microgrids are self-contained power systems co-located with the facilities they serve that include generation resources, storage systems and energy management systems. The Tech Square Microgrid is being used to evaluate how a microgrid can effectively integrate into and operate as part of the overall electrical grid. Additionally, it will serve as a living laboratory for Georgia Tech professors and students who will use the asset to gather data on controllers, cybersecurity devices and energy economics.,The microgrid will provide Georgia Power with insight on how smart energy management systems, such as the one installed at the CODA data center, can interact with the grid to achieve optimal utilization of energy. In addition, it will also provide teaching and learning opportunities for Georgia Tech professors and students.

▼Vertical Roots, the largest hydroponic container farm in the U.S. sustainably growing fresh leafy greens yearround, has opened its third indoor farm in Atlanta. The company partnered with two of the leading Southeastern produce suppliers, Collins Brothers Produce and Phoenix Wholesale Foodservice, to place the farm directly at their facilities. The new Atlanta farm site will eliminate the need for produce transportation to the

distributor and allow Vertical Roots lettuce to be delivered to local customers the same day it’s harvested. Located within the Atlanta State Farmers Market, this is phase one of the company’s Atlanta expansion. With farm production underway, Vertical Roots Georgia Grown lettuce will be available in grocery stores starting this month.

Georgia Audubon and the Atlanta BeltLine recently partnered on a project to install two 12-foot-tall Chimney Swift towers along the Atlanta BeltLine. Funded by a grant from Patagonia Atlanta, one tower is located on the Atlanta BeltLine Eastside Trail and the second tower is on the Atlanta BeltLine Westside Trail. Designed to mimic actual chimneys, these towers will serve as roosting and nesting habitat for Chimney Swifts. In addition, a bird-friendly native plant garden has been installed at the Eastside Trail project site thanks to grants from the Georgia Ornithological Society and the Cherokee Garden Club with additional funds from Georgia Audubon.

The Chattahoochee Nature Center (CNC) has named Natasha Rice as its new president and CEO. Rice is an accomplished senior leader with nearly 30 years of experience, specializing in operations, business development and human resources for the Boys & Girls Club of Metro Atlanta, Fortune 50 companies, and small to mid-size businesses.
