20% ‘green’ energy in electric power contract

The Port Commission of the Port of Houston Authority are considering awarding a contract for $19.8 million to Just Energy Texas L.P. for the purchase of deregulated electric power to be used Port of Houston Authority-wide from 2009 to 2012.

The contract will include 20% renewable energy. Such an amount of “green” energy is enough to power approximately 200 homes for an entire year.
