AMERICAN-MADE ENERGY

Energy stored from the Ochoa Energy Storage project will go directly onto the local electrical grid, providing Waller County and the state of Texas with homegrown energy. This project increases American energy independence, boosts the local economy, and creates jobs.

SUPPORTING THE ECONOMY

Ochoa Energy Storage will generate tax revenue to support the community, create more jobs, and provide a more reliable grid for businesses. This project will create approximately 80 new jobs during construction and provide additional long-term employment opportunities once operational. Local vendors and businesses will be utilized when possible, to bring even more money directly into the local economy.

EDUCATION FUNDS

It is expected that local school districts will be one of the direct beneficiaries of funding from Ochoa Energy Storage tax revenue - which will result in millions of new dollars over the life of the project.

NATURAL SCREENING

Ochoa Energy Storage is committed to developing a vegetation management plan which adheres to state and local rules. Development of these plans would include consideration of the most appropriate plants for the area and will provide a pleasing visual buffer between the project and neighboring communities.

DECOMMISSIONING

Ochoa Energy Storage is committed to meeting or exceeding all local, state, and federal requirements regarding decommissioning at the end of the project’s lifespan.
