The environmental issue that was facing the host community is lack of pollution free electricity. The production of electricity causes industrial air pollution. The Texas people where this pollution-free electricity was installed showed great interest in pollution free electricity. This led to the teaming up of the upper Kirby District Foundation the Green Mountain Energy Company and nuon so as to harness the power of the sun in order to generate pollution-free electricity. This resulted to a solar facility known as Green Mountain Energy (SM) at the upper Kirby District. The facility is said to be a commercial scale 432KW solar energy. Electricity generated from this project would be delivered to the Texas electric grid.
The issue of the need to have pollution-free electricity was solved by producing environment-friendly electricity. The Big Texas sun club was formed that enabled customers t provide monetary support. This support would help to install other solar facilities in Texas and created commitment of the people to clean energy.
The club has also contributed to construction development and maintenance of new solar facilities in Texas. In addition, it has promoted statewide education about solar energy.
From these initiatives, Nuon has acquired new customers who would like to have pollution-free electricity. This is due to the good name, the Netherlands’s company has made for itself.
