AUSTIN, Texas — Jason's Deli has unveiled its "solar deli" concept in Austin, the company has announced.
The location is the second of Jason's 170 deli restaurants to be powered in part by solar energy. NewPoint Energy Solutions, a renewable energy company with Austin operations and a division of Standard Renewable Energy LP, designed and installed the 5.6 kilowatt solar electric system, expected to generate approximately 7,500 kilowatts of power per year.
"At Jason's Deli, we believe we are responsible for being good stewards of the environment, which is why we are investing in clean, renewable energy," said Joe Tortorice Jr., Jason's Deli founder and chief executive officer. "In addition to being the right thing to do for the communities in which we operate, including solar electric power in our energy mix will help to reduce our energy costs over time, which is good for both our business and for our customers."
Jason's Deli's first solar installation was completed in November in Beaumont, Texas.
