“After searching locations in several other Western states for our first U.S. location, we chose the Orange County, California area because of the area’s growth in renewable energy as well as the access to premier labor in this speciality,” said Jamie Allen, Group CEO of EVO Power.

 

Kris Smith, JLL Vice President, continued by saying “As growth from ecommerce companies in Orange County slows slightly, we are seeing increased interest for industrial space from renewable energy companies especially as the federal government has been extending subsidies to manufacturers of clean energy technologies in the U.S. under the Inflation Reduction Act.”
