A modern, 232-acre data center campus, Project Pegasus is designed to blend seamlessly with the surrounding landscape and uses dark sky-standard lighting, noise-mitigating enclosures, structural elements and energy-efficient cooling systems to minimize its community footprint.

Pegasus will be a quiet, unobtrusive neighbor. With massive natural buffers, generous berming and a site design modeled around noise reduction, Pegasus won’t be seen or heard from the surrounding area.

What Is a Data Center?

Data centers are essential infrastructure that power the modern world, including the services people rely on every day, from banking and e-commerce to hospitals and schools. Although rarely seen directly, data centers are present throughout our lives, and the average person interacts with a data center dozens of times each day. Data centers are increasingly necessary as our use of digital services increases to ensure that they remain fast, reliable and available at all times.

PROJECT QUESTIONS

We understand that a project like Pegasus raises important questions. We’re committed to providing transparent, factual information about the Pegasus’ design and how it will operate.

Select a topic to dive deeper.

A preliminary noise study has confirmed that Pegasus’ design can achieve minimal noise levels using commercially available equipment, which will be selected to achieve the lowest noise possible, with a particular focus on the reduction of low-frequency sound. At most points around the Project Pegasus boundary, observable noise will be quieter than a standard refrigerator or background chatter in a quiet office, and less than half the volume of a typical conversation. For comparison, most modern appliances have substantially louder operational noise than Project Pegasus. Noise from a typical blender, for example, is 17 times louder and carries 15,000 times more acoustic energy than Pegasus.

Project Pegasus is substantially screened to prevent visibility from the highway, surrounding roadways and nearest residences. Pegasus’ plan includes significant buffers to minimize visibility. Campus boundaries, setbacks, easements, landscaping and foliage will ensure it is out of sight and blends in with the surrounding area. No building on the campus will exceed 60 feet in height, with rooftop screening up to 10 feet above that. Project Pegasus will utilize downward-facing dark sky-standard light fixtures to minimize light pollution and nighttime visibility.

PowerHouse is committed to effective water stewardship and carefully plans each project before issuing a proposal. To this end, Project Pegasus uses a closed-loop cooling system that recycles water, minimizing overall usage, and exclusively draws from existing surplus water capacity. This means Project Pegasus will never decrease the water supply available for residents. These measures go a long way in minimizing water usage.

Project Pegasus is planning on using 450 MW of power at peak load once fully operational. This usage represents less than 5% of the 8,500 MW load growth Georgia has already planned and authorized over the next six years, and will not impact the electricity supply available for residents. Project Pegasus will not increase your electricity bill; in fact, evidence shows that data centers like Pegasus can actually help to reduce residential rates by providing a steady stream of power demand for utilities. 

Upgrades to existing infrastructure are fully funded by the development team and no costs will be passed on to residents through utility bills. These upgrades will strengthen regional grids and power infrastructure that benefits everyone – including future Coweta County residents – meaning ratepayers don’t have to cover upgrade costs to replace outdated systems or expand capacity later on. 

Project Pegasus will use backup generators, but these will only be active in emergencies and for periodic testing as required by law. Testing schedules will be publicly available and will adhere to the minimum frequency required by law. Generators utilized for Pegasus will be Tier IV compliant, the EPA’s strictest emissions standard, and will be selected in part based on their operating volume, to minimize noise pollution wherever possible.

The developers are in coordination with local authorities on a construction impact mitigation plan and will ensure it is publicized with advance notice to the public. Any construction-related traffic delays or road closures will be kept to the minimum necessary and will be announced in advance. The developers have additionally completed a traffic study confirming there will be little to no impact on local traffic conditions once the facility is operational.
