Cypress Creek to provide PV power for 360 Starbucks in Texas

April 15: Cypress Creek Renewables is set to develop, construct and operate a two-project PV portfolio in Texas that will provide enough energy for the equivalent of 360 Starbucks stores across the Lone Star State, including stores in Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano and Arlington.

The second of the two-project portfolio is now generating energy, with the pipeline featuring a combined generation capacity of 10MW. The two sites are located in Wharton and Blossom, Texas.

Starbucks is also separately investing in six Cypress Creek-owned solar farms in Texas, representing 50MW of renewable energy.  In total, the portfolio of eight projects is cutting carbon emissions by an estimated 101,000 tons per year, the equivalent of planting nearly 2.5 million trees.
