Nearly 8% of The Home Depot's total electricity usage is going to be based on renewable energy from a project right here in North Texas. The Atlanta-based home improvement giant announced that it has purchased 100 MW of solar energy from National Grid Renewables' Noble solar and storage project in Denton County. The solar farm is NGR's largest solar energy project to date, and its first utility-scale energy storage project, The Home Depot says.
Plano-based Universal EV Chargers is laser-focused on getting its charging systems outside hotels nationwide. Now, with nearly $10M in federal grants as a result of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, it's aiming to secure business with brands like IHG, Wyndham, Marriott, and Hilton.
Chint Power Solutions America, a subsidiary of electronic components maker Chint Group, has made Richardson the new home of its U.S. HQ and Innovation Center—in yet another California HQ move to North Texas.
