AMERICAN-MADE ENERGY

Energy stored from the Emerald Hill Energy Storage project would go directly onto the local electrical grid, providing Dallas County and the state of Texas with homegrown energy. This project has the potential to increase American energy independence, boosts the local economy, and creates jobs.

SUPPORTING THE ECONOMY

Emerald Hill Energy Storage would generate tax revenue to support the community, create more jobs, and provide a more reliable grid for businesses. This project could create approximately 50 new jobs during construction, as well as two additional long-term 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 would be one of the direct beneficiaries of funding from Emerald Hill Energy Storage tax revenue - which would result in a new revenue stream over the life of the project.

NATURAL SCREENING

Emerald Hill 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

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