Southern Company and PGA Enter Partnership for the First-Ever Zero Energy TOUR Championship

Southern Company today announced that it is delivering the first-ever net zero energy TOUR Championship.

For the PGA TOUR’s season finale, which returns to Atlanta and historic East Lake Golf Club, August 24-28, 2022, and crowns the season’s FedExCup champion, Southern Company and its subsidiaries Georgia Power, PowerSecure and Southern Company Gas collaborated closely with the TOUR Championship to drive sustainability measures on and off the golf course.

Some of the measures implemented to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the event include:

  • Renewable fuels: Working with PowerSecure, the tournament swapped traditional diesel with renewable fuels for all onsite generation during the tournament to power the golf course with renewable energy.
  • Renewable energy credits: In collaboration with Georgia Power and through the use of renewable energy credits, we offset traditional energy usage and reduced the tournament’s carbon footprint.
  • Renewable natural gas: Through Southern Company Gas, we offset the emissions from the clubhouse’s natural gas appliances by integrating environmental credits from carbon-neutral renewable natural gas captured from landfills.
