Sysco Corporation announced that the Company’s solar garden sites in the Houston and Dallas areas are fully-constructed and operational. The three sites, named collectively Sysco Power Patch through an employee naming competition, are part of a 25 megawatt, ten-year renewable energy agreement with a subsidiary of NRG Energy Inc. The project will support the majority of Sysco’s electricity load in Texas, including its Corporate Headquarters. The Sysco Power Patch” sites took six months to build and created 190 jobs during the peak of construction in 2018. The project sites are on 224 total acres and feature 201,792 solar panels. The sites will support approximately 10% of Sysco’s U.S. electricity usage, achieving half of the Company’s 2025 Responsibility Goal of 20% renewable energy by 2025. To celebrate this renewable energy activation, Sysco and NRG hosted an event at Sysco’s Corporate Headquarters in Houston, also attended by U.S. Representative Lizzie Fletcher.
