City of Frisco Urges Rapid Expansion of EV Charging and Backup Power Systems

Published

2 weeks ago

on

To meet rising EV adoption and future energy demands, the City of Frisco is calling for a rapid expansion of EV charging infrastructure. These initiatives aim to future-proof Frisco’s transportation network, support clean energy goals, and ensure reliable charging access for all residents—positioning the city as a regional leader in smart energy infrastructure.

As electric vehicle (EV) ownership surges and North Texas faces increasingly extreme weather conditions, the City of Frisco is officially calling for a city-wide energy infrastructure expansion. City leaders are urging public and private stakeholders to accelerate the deployment of home EV charging systems and backup power solutions, such as Generac generators, to protect homes, businesses, and critical services.

This initiative comes amid warnings that Frisco’s current grid infrastructure is not prepared to handle projected energy demand, fueled by explosive population growth, rising EV adoption, and weather-related blackouts.

EV Charging: A Rapidly Growing Need

Frisco is experiencing one of the highest EV adoption rates in the state. However, the city lacks a coordinated plan to ensure every resident has convenient access to home and public charging infrastructure. With over 15,000 EVs now registered in Collin County and that number expected to triple by 2030, city officials say proactive planning is critical.

“Our residents want to embrace clean transportation, but they need the infrastructure to do it,” said a Frisco Energy Task Force representative. “Without sufficient home and public EV charging, we risk straining the grid and stalling progress.”

The city is encouraging:

Residential Installation of Level 2 EV Chargers

As EV adoption accelerates in Frisco, access to Level 2 residential chargers is becoming essential for daily convenience and grid efficiency. Level 2 chargers (240V) offer significantly faster charging than standard outlets, providing 25–40 miles of range per hour and enabling overnight full charges.

The City of Frisco encourages:

New construction mandates requiring EV charger-ready wiring in all single-family and multi-family developments

HOA policy revisions that prevent unreasonable restrictions on EV charger installation in townhomes and condos

Public-private partnerships with local electricians, such as ABR Electric, to offer installation packages that include permitting, code compliance, and homeowner training

Low-income support programs to help make residential EV charging more accessible to all residents

Incentives and Rebates for Homeowners and Developers

To promote faster adoption, the city is proposing a localized EV Charging Incentive Program to complement federal tax credits and utility rebates.

Proposed elements include:

Rebate vouchers of up to $1,000 for homeowners who install a Level 2 charger with a licensed contractor

Permit fee waivers for EV charger installations within city limits

Green building certification incentives for developers that pre-wire garages and parking spaces for future EV charging

Partnerships with local dealerships to bundle charger installations into EV purchases

Coordination with CoServ and Oncor to align residential incentives with regional grid needs and peak-load planning

 Strategic Placement of Public Charging Stations

Public charging availability plays a key role in both equity and convenience, especially for apartment residents, renters, or commuters without private garages.

Frisco’s proposed charging expansion plan recommends:

Installation of Level 2 and DC Fast Chargers at high-traffic public locations including:

City parks and recreation centers

Public libraries and civic buildings

Downtown parking areas and entertainment districts

School campuses, universities, and park-and-ride locations

Partnering with major retailers, malls, and grocery chains for semi-public charger hubs

Integrating chargers into future zoning and transportation planning for mixed-use developments

Deploying solar-powered charging stations in city parks to align with clean energy goals

Permitting Reform to Accelerate Charger Deployment

One of the primary bottlenecks in EV infrastructure development is the time and complexity of securing permits. The City of Frisco is actively exploring reforms to streamline this process for both homeowners and contractors.

Key initiatives under consideration include:

A “Fast Track” permit process for residential Level 2 EV charger installations under 80 amps

Pre-approved installation guidelines for electricians to speed up approval times

Same-day virtual inspections for simple installations to reduce wait times

An online portal allowing homeowners and contractors to apply, pay fees, and schedule inspections in one place

 

Backup Power: A Lifeline During Texas Weather Extremes

With Texas increasingly prone to extreme weather—like ice storms, tornadoes, and summer grid overloads—Frisco leaders are emphasizing the importance of automatic standby generators for residential and commercial properties.

“Backup power is no longer optional in Texas,” said a spokesperson from ABR Electric, a Frisco-based licensed electrical contractor. “We’re seeing rising demand for Generac generator installations from homeowners who want peace of mind during outages.”

Key Facts:

Winter Storm Uri (2021) left millions without power for days

The 2024 heat wave triggered rolling blackouts across North Texas

Frisco’s grid is already operating near capacity during peak months

ABR Electric and other local contractors are calling on the city to:

Streamline permitting for generator installations

Educate residents on backup power solutions

Incentivize energy resiliency upgrades in new construction

Powering Frisco’s Future: Citywide Energy Action Plan Underway

In partnership with local experts, the City of Frisco is drafting a 2025 Energy Resiliency Plan, focusing on:

EV Infrastructure Expansion

Home & Business Generator Accessibility

Public-Private Energy Grid Modernization Task Force

Educational Campaigns for Energy-Savvy Living

“This is about future-proofing our community,” said a city council member. “We want Frisco to be a model city—powered, prepared, and progressive.”

Press Release

Dr. Lindsay Martel Montgomery Advocates for Centering Indigenous Voices in Archaeological Research

Published

2 hours ago

on

June 7, 2025

By

Ontario, US, 7th June 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, In the evolving landscape of archaeological research, Dr. Lindsay Martel Montgomery emerges as a prominent and courageous advocate for an approach that not only acknowledges but centers Indigenous perspectives, governance, and knowledge systems. Her work exemplifies a broader movement to reimagine archaeology as a collaborative, ethical, and community-grounded discipline. As an Associate Professor in the Department of Anthropology and the Centre for Indigenous Studies at the University of Toronto, Dr. Montgomery is helping to set a new international standard for how archaeology can evolve with social justice at its core.

A Commitment to Collaborative Research and Relational Practice

At the heart of Dr. Lindsay Martel Montgomery’s work lies a commitment to collaborative methodologies. She emphasizes that the future of archaeology must be defined by partnerships with descendants and local communities. Her leadership in the Picuris Pueblo Archaeological Research Project (PPARP) demonstrates a deep, reciprocal relationship with the Tribal Nation in northern New Mexico. Rather than conducting extractive research, the project is designed with the Picuris Tribal Council to ensure community needs and priorities shape all aspects of the research—from question development to data analysis and interpretation.

“Archaeology must be about more than discovery,” Dr. Montgomery says. “It must be about relationships—building trust, sharing intellectual authority, and honoring the knowledge systems that have existed long before universities or academic institutions.” For Dr. Montgomery, collaboration is not merely a research strategy; it is an ethical imperative and a decolonial commitment.

Upholding Indigenous Data Sovereignty

Dr. Lindsay Martel Montgomery integrates the principles of Indigenous data sovereignty into all facets of her research. The CARE Principles—Collective benefit, Authority to control, Responsibility, and Ethics—serve as a foundational guide for her work. These principles challenge traditional academic frameworks that often marginalised Indigenous communities’ rights over their own histories and cultural data.

By allowing Indigenous partners to retain control over the stewardship, storage, and future use of archaeological data, Dr. Montgomery fosters a model of shared responsibility and long-term accountability. Her publications, such as The Archaeology of Settler Colonialism in North America, critique historic archaeological practices and push for a future where Black and Indigenous communities are not merely subjects of research but co-authors of the archaeological record.

Redefining the Classroom: Transforming Pedagogy and Power

At the University of Toronto, Dr. Lindsay Martel Montgomery is equally transformative in the classroom. Her teaching goes far beyond traditional lectures—it serves as a platform for critical pedagogy and co-learning. Courses like “Indigenous Archaeologies” and “Fight the Power,” expose students to non-Western epistemologies, challenge them to interrogate colonial power structures, and prepare them to become politically-engaged researchers.

Dr. Montgomery regularly incorporates BIPOC scholars into her syllabi, allowing students to engage directly with perspectives that have historically been excluded from academic discourse. These engagements are an essential aspect of her anti-colonial approach to changing what voices and experiences are considered valid within the discipline of archaeology.

Additionally, her courses often include applied components, such as student partnerships with Indigenous-led organizations and applied research with museum collections and exhibition design. These experiential learning opportunities cultivate cultural humility and show students how critical and ethical practices can be implemented in real-world contexts.

Expanding the Global Dialogue on Ethical Archaeology

Dr. Lindsay Martel Montgomery’s influence reaches far beyond the U.S. and Canada. She is increasingly recognized as a global leader in ethical, community-centered archaeological research. Her work is frequently cited in scholarly journals and has contributed to shaping policy discussions in institutions across Europe, New Zealand, and the Americas. Most recently, she co-authored a landmark article inSAPIENS outlining the Journal of Social Archaeology a roadmap for integrating anti-colonial and collaborative approaches Indigenous governance structures into archaeological practice. This framework of “reclamation” is now being referenced by researchers, museums and universities seeking to redesign their research ethics protocols.

Dr. Montgomery is also a sought-after speaker at conferences and symposia, where she shares practical strategies for community engagement, anti-colonial research design, and museum decolonization. Her workshops on decolonizing pedagogy and anti-racism in heritage interpretation have helped scholars, curators, and administrators rethink how Indigenous belongings are displayed and contextualized, ensuring consent and collaboration at every level.

Looking Ahead: Archaeology as a Tool for Justice

As the archaeological field confronts calls for decolonization and reparative justice, Dr. Lindsay Martel Montgomery continues to challenge institutions to move beyond performative gestures. For her, it is not enough to acknowledge past wrongs—archaeologists must actively work to change structures, redistribute power, and repair harm. “True decolonization is not symbolic,” she insists. “It’s material. It;s about who leads the research, how benefits are distributed, and whose stories are prioritized.” This perspective is evident in every aspect of her work—from her syllabus design to her field collaborations and publications.

In an era where conversations about colonial legacies and social justice are at the forefront, Dr. Montgomery’s scholarship and activism offer a model for transformation. She bridges theory and practice with clarity, compassion, and a deep sense of responsibility. Her work
not only critiques the colonial foundations of archaeology but also lays out a roadmap for a more inclusive and equitable discipline.

Her vision is bold but clear: archaeology must serve the communities it studies, not the institutions that fund it. And in pursuing that vision, she continues to set a new global standard for ethical engagement.

This results in faster processing times and a more efficient workflow, saving you time and reducing frustration.

A cluttered QuickBooks file can lead to mistakes, such as duplicate transactions or discrepancies in reports. Optimizing your file ensures that your financial data is clean and organized. By removing outdated records and fixing data inconsistencies, you reduce the risk of errors in your financial reports, which is essential for making informed business decisions.

As QuickBooks files grow in size, the likelihood of corruption or data loss increases. Regular file optimization helps identify and address potential issues early, preventing corruption and ensuring that your data remains intact. This proactive approach can save your business from costly and disruptive downtime.

QuickBooks file optimization helps streamline your accounting data by eliminating inactive accounts, old transactions, and irrelevant entries. This not only improves performance but also makes it easier to manage your financial information, keeping your system organized as your business grows.

QuickBooks file optimization is a simple yet effective way to ensure that your accounting system runs efficiently and accurately.
