ATLANTA, Feb. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — In response to the recent winter storms devastating the nation, The Home Depot Foundation announced today that it is committing up to $500,000 to aid with immediate relief efforts and short- and long-term recovery for communities impacted by historic winter storms, Uri and Viola. This incremental commitment is in addition to the Foundation’s annual grants of $3.6 million to disaster relief national nonprofit partners, bringing the current total commitment for 2021 to $4.1 million.

Although the extent of the recovery need is still being determined, this commitment will bolster immediate efforts, including distribution of water and kits containing additional critical supplies. Short-term recovery, including mold remediation and emergency home repairs, will take place as damage is assessed and conditions become secure.

In partnership with experienced national nonprofit organizations, including Convoy of Hope, Operation Blessing, American Red Cross and Semper Fi & America’s Fund, the Foundation has been safely deploying essential supplies to the areas stricken with power outages, water shortages, freezing temperatures and plumbing damage. The Home Depot Foundation works with these and other national and local nonprofit partners on an ongoing basis to proactively position emergency supplies and promote timely distribution to communities in need.

The Foundation has long-established connections with local nonprofits in Texas, and its associate volunteer force, Team Depot, has been partnering with Meals on Wheels Central Texas, Rebuilding Together Houston and the City of Dallas to assess damage and need. For example, last week, the Foundation partnered with the City of Dallas to provide seniors and families with much-needed generators, products, and cleaning supplies.

«The Home Depot supplies generously donated to the City of Dallas will support our most vulnerable populations, including seniors and families, during the 2021 winter weather conditions,» said Carrie Rogers, director, Dallas Mayor and City Council Office.

«Our hearts and prayers go out to our associates and the communities suffering from the effects of these catastrophic winter storms,» expresses Shannon Gerber, executive director of The Home Depot Foundation. «We’re working with heightened intentionality to mobilize critical supplies and provide emergency repairs, once safe to proceed.»

The company engaged its Emergency Response Team to respond to the immediate needs of its stores, associates and communities, flowing supplies into the impacted areas throughout the crisis. The Home Depot’s merchandising and supply chain teams are working around the clock to replenish in-demand items like plumbing materials, wet/dry vacuums, generators, and cleaning supplies. 

In addition to numerous stores in the impacted areas, The Home Depot operates several technology centers in Texas, including one in Dallas and two in Austin, where cross-functional teams of engineers worked throughout the storms to maintain networks, platforms and applications supporting stores and other business operations.

The Home Depot’s employee assistance program, The Homer Fund, processed more than 1,300 grants for associates affected by the storms and has already provided more than $500,000 in emergency support.

In 2020, The Home Depot Foundation committed more than $4 million to natural disaster relief efforts. 

About The Home Depot Foundation

To date, the Foundation has invested more than $350 million in support of veterans in need and improved more than 48,000 veteran homes and facilities in more than 4,500 cities.

Montgomery County Public Schools approves the nation’s largest procurement of electric school buses with Highland Electric Transportation

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Md., Feb. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) Board of Education approved a contract on Tuesday evening with Highland Electric Transportation, a provider of turnkey electric fleet solutions, to convert its school bus fleet to all-electric, starting with 326 school buses over the next four years. This project represents the largest single procurement of electric school buses in North America.

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Md., Feb. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) Board of Education approved a contract on Tuesday evening with Highland Electric Transportation, a provider of turnkey electric fleet solutions, to convert its school bus fleet to all-electric, starting with 326 school buses over the next four years. This project represents the largest single procurement of electric school buses in North America.

Montgomery County Public Schools operates more than 200 schools and serves over 160,000 students county-wide. The MCPS Department of Transportation is one of the largest in the country, with an over 1,400 school bus fleet.

«I figured that at some point electric bus prices would fall enough to make it affordable, but this deal makes it affordable now» said Todd Watkins, Transportation Director for MCPS. Todd was recently named Transportation Director of the year by Student Transportation News, 2020.

«We are honored to partner with Montgomery County on this innovative program. We believe this project is a great example of the power of public-private partnerships as we seek to electrify school bus fleets across the country,» said Duncan McIntyre, CEO of Highland.

Under the agreement, Highland and its project partners, including Thomas Built Buses, Proterra, and Annapolis-based American Bus, will electrify all five of MCPS’ bus depots, supplying the electric school buses and charging infrastructure along with services including managed charging. Highland will purchase buses manufactured in North Carolina by Thomas Built Buses, which will be supplied and serviced by American Bus. Both companies have been long-time trusted suppliers and partners for the MCPS Department of Transportation. Designed, engineered, and manufactured in the United States by Thomas Built Buses, the all-electric Saf-T-Liner C2 Jouley school bus is powered by Proterra’s electric vehicle technology platform. The Jouley couples 226 kWh of total energy capacity with a Proterra Powered drivetrain to offer an industry-leading operating range of up to 135 miles on a single charge to meet the needs of school bus fleets.

The transition to electric school buses will deliver health and climate benefits for the community. Converting the school bus fleet will reduce carbon emissions by 25,000 tons per year while cutting diesel pollution harmful to human health, contributing to both Maryland and Montgomery County goals.

«Battery-electric technology is the future of student transportation, and this is just the beginning of a transition to zero-emissions school buses across the country,» said Caley Edgerly, president and CEO, Thomas Built Buses. «We applaud the Montgomery County Public School system for leading the way, and thank Highland Electric Transportation and Proterra for their partnership and collaboration.»

 «Battery-electric school buses offer a safe, reliable mode of transportation that reduces noise and air pollution, protecting public health and the environment. That’s why innovative communities like Montgomery County, Maryland are driving the transition to clean, zero-emission pupil transportation for our students and schools. Together with Thomas Built Buses and Highland Electric Transportation, Proterra is proud to deliver the benefits of our electric vehicle technology to Montgomery County and support their historic commitment to electric school buses,» said Gareth Joyce, President of Proterra Powered and Energy.

The project was awarded an $817,000 grant from Maryland Energy Association (MEA), which helps offset the purchase cost of vehicles that is critical at this early stage of mass deployment. This is the type of project that the MEA Clean Fuels Incentive Program was intended to support, collaboration between the public and private sector to build a scalable fleet electrification market in the state.

In addition, the electric buses will lend their batteries to deliver stored electricity to the local electricity markets, interconnected through Pepco, which helps the community integrate renewable energy and support grid resiliency. Highland takes on the obligation of internalizing these values, which shift the cost of ownership for the electrified fleets, helping to deliver budget neutrality to MCPS.

«This is the first step toward meeting President Biden’s pledge to electrify all 500,000 school buses across the nation over the next decade,» said Nat Kreamer, CEO of Advanced Energy Economy, a national business group. «These school buses do double duty, providing pollution-free transportation for schoolchildren and grid services that benefit all electric customers, while also being available as mobile backup for communities affected by power outages.»

Asia Pacific was the largest region in the global motor vehicle and parts dealers market, accounting for 37% of the market in 2020. North America was the second largest region accounting for 34% of the global motor vehicle and parts dealers market. Africa was the smallest region in the global motor vehicle and parts dealers market.

Motor vehicle dealers are increasingly offering unique experiences and features to meet customer expectations. Experiential retail refers to a store which offers consumers a chance to buy an experience rather than just an object or service. This trend is driven largely by millennial and their preference for experiences over things. These stores often use technology such as augmented reality and combine traditional elements with mobile apps and activities. For instance, car brand Audi has integrated virtual reality (VR) experience in their showrooms to attract potential customers. The company designed the VR experience to present its vehicles to potential customers in a more personalized and engaging manner, while solving the issue of smaller dealerships being unable to stock more than five cars.

The outbreak of Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has acted as a massive restraint on the motor vehicle and parts dealers market in 2020 as supply chains were disrupted due to trade restrictions and consumption declined due to lockdowns imposed by governments globally. COVID 19 is an infectious disease with flu-like symptoms including fever, cough, and difficulty in breathing. The virus was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei province of the People’s Republic of China and spread globally including Western Europe, North America and Asia. Steps by national governments to contain the transmission have resulted in decline in manufacture and trade of non-essential goods and an overall decline in economic activity with countries entering a state of ‘lock down’ and the outbreak is expected to continue to have a negative impact on businesses throughout 2020 and into 2021. However, it is expected that the motor vehicle and parts dealers market will recover from the shock across the forecast period as it is a ‘black swan’ event and not related to ongoing or fundamental weaknesses in the market or the global economy.

The motor vehicle and parts dealers are adopting a robust and cohesive strategy for data analytics in management. This technology is being deployed to enhance supply chain efficiency, streamline operations to engage customers and building loyalty, data has become critical for most retail operations. With the rapid growth in retail data and the availability of technologies to analyse data it will become easier for motor vehicle and parts dealers to identify and meet the needs and expectations of their customers , thus it is expected to drive the market going forward.

BOXBOROUGH, Mass., Feb. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — KiloVault®, a provider of innovative and affordable residential and commercial renewable energy solutions, today unveiled the third iteration of their HAB™ series of wall-mount energy storage systems. The HAB™ 7.5 V3 provides the same powerful 7.5 kilowatt-hours of storage, safety, and expandability of its predecessors, and features several key upgrades for a cleaner more convenient set up.

«The HAB has quickly risen to become the top seller for the KiloVault line,» says Product Manager Andrea Belford. «Customers appreciate its built-in display, easy expandability, and no-fuss reliability as a backup power solution.»

The HAB 7.5 V3 has several key improvements incorporated based on customer feedback:

  • The HAB V3 has increased ventilation to improve performance and battery life in warmer climates. The unit is rated IP54 for dust and splash protection. The four vents can be swapped out with solid plates (included) to meet the IP55 rating for water jet protection, allowing outdoor installation.
  • The wiring panel of the HAB has been completely redesigned for improved serviceability, with more space and additional ports on the bottom, left, and right sides of the wiring panel. Power and communication cable connections are now easier than ever.
  • Larger integrated lift handles allow for easier wall-mounted installation, and fold completely out of the way when they’re not needed.

Ideal for expandable energy storage in off-grid or hybrid applications, the HAB integrates with leading inverters at a lower lifetime cost than competitive offerings, and can store power from a variety of sources. Each HAB contains a non-toxic, thermally stable LiFePO4 battery with UL1642-certified cells. With built-in WiFi and the convenient HAB iT app on iOS and Android, monitoring your battery health and performance is easier than ever. Connecting your HAB to the HAB iT cloud allows it to receive automatic firmware updates.

The HAB is designed for a long and productive life, and now comes with a flexible warranty to meet a variety of performance needs. Depending on the charging profile, the HAB is now backed with either a 10-year/6,000-cycle extended life warranty when configured to charge at lower rates, or a 7.5-year/4,000-cycle warranty when configured for maximum charging capability.

HydroLand Acquires 25 Megawatt Portfolio of Hydroelectric Assets from Enel Green Power North America

BAINBRIDGE ISLAND, Wash., Feb. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Today HydroLand, a national renewable energy company transforming the way energy is created and delivered, announced it acquired a 25 megawatt portfolio of hydroelectric facilities from Enel Green Power North America, Inc. («Enel»).

«The closing of this acquisition is a major step for us as we execute our plan to acquire, optimize and modernize underutilized hydroelectric facilities and ultimately turn them into green energy parks that support the transition to renewable energy,» said Cory Lagerstrom, CEO of HydroLand.

Hydropower is the oldest and still the largest source of renewable energy, limited only by finding the right locations. The portfolio acquired from Enel comprises 13 «run-of-river» environmentally friendly facilities located throughout the Mid-Atlantic, South, and Western US, including California.

Run-of-river hydroelectric plants are small when compared to large-scale hydroelectric facilities. There is tremendous potential for developing more hydropower by taking existing facilities and increasing their capacity with modern equipment and operating systems. Many of these facilities are up to 70 years old and can be retrofitted for enhanced power generating capacity and efficiency.

«Run-of-river hydro has been our companys foundation in the US and Canada. As Enel Green Power has grown and evolved in North America, so, too, has our strategic focus to grow in areas that best support our global growth targets. Were proud to have developed and maintained this hydropower portfolio while our focus increasingly turned to wind and solar,» said Georgios Papadimitriou, Head of Enel Green Power North America.

Through a disciplined engineering and environmentally friendly approach, HydroLand is restoring and improving hydroelectric facilities to deliver modern, state-of-the art electric generation for the grid.

This acquisition is one of many more to come that will allow HydroLand to ultimately create green energy parks across American primarily in the Northeast and West.

HydroLand
HydroLand is building Americas next great renewable energy company based on run-of-river hydroelectric facilities that will become green energy parks and economic development engines in their rural communities.
