A bright, sustainable future is in the cards for Austin’s public transportation, as HOLT Renewables announces its plans to create a cutting-edge solar-powered charging infrastructure for CapMetro, Austin’s regional public transportation provider. HOLT Renewables will design and construct a photovoltaic (PV) canopy system that will efficiently convert sunlight into usable electricity. The ambitious $34 million, 12-acre project will involve installing over 7,000 solar panels and feature the largest deployment of pantograph depot chargers in the country. These overhead chargers will connect to the vehicle’s battery, providing power to over 200 zero-emission buses in CapMetro’s fleet. Peter J. Holt, CEO and general manager of HOLT Renewables, expressed in a release that this revolutionary project “will kickstart the transformation of public transportation in Central Texas.” Discover more about this innovative project in the original article [here](https://www.recenter.tamu.edu/news/newstalk-texas/?Item=29059).
