HOUSTON, Nov. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Harris County, Texas, the most populous county in the state, has awarded Energy Edge Consulting, LLC the energy consulting contract for market research, risk management, sustainability, and procurement solutions. Energy Edge has been tasked with leading the County's procurement of renewable energy from offsite resources and assisting with the development of a comprehensive energy management strategy. Additionally, Energy Edge will integrate renewable energy into the County's retail power contract beginning in January 2023.
Harris County operates hundreds of facilities across nearly 1,800 square miles and seeks to develop an energy strategy that reduces its overall energy consumption while utilizing renewable energy to power its operations.
