A provider of hydrogen infrastructure solutions Celly H2 has announced its acquisition of ChemTech Energy (CNE) to continue Celly's mission of leading hydrogen fueling and storage infrastructure.

The Willis, Texas-based company offers logistics, storage, and dispensing to innovative modular refueling station services. Montgomery’s Chemtec Energy has a 25-year legacy in the oil and gas market and specializes in modular hydrogen fueling and storage infrastructure solutions.

"This acquisition marks a significant milestone for Celly as we continue to expand our portfolio in the renewable energy market," Founder and CEO of Celly Austin Terry says in a news release. "We are excited to welcome the talented team at Chemtec New Energies to Celly and look forward to leveraging their expertise to drive innovation and deliver sustainable energy solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers."

According to Celly, the deal plans to address challenges related to infrastructure reliability, affordability, and efficiency through the deployment of modular advanced hydrogen refueling stations (MAHRS). These stations, when combined with modular hydrogen storage units, are designed to streamline the hydrogen delivery value chain, which can enhance accessibility and accelerate transitions to clean energy ecosystems.

"We launched CNE to focus on renewable energy and hydrogen refueling solutions,” Milton Page, CEO of Chemtec Energy Services, adds. “What was a small division of our organization is now ready to evolve into something bigger. We are proud to combine our strengths with Celly which will allow us to rapidly support this growing demand and market.”

Reliant Energy and GM Energy are advancing a new renewable energy electricity plan that will “accelerate the clean energy journey for the two companies and their customers,” according to a news release.

Houston-based Reliant and GM Energy will be offering free nighttime charging for Chevrolet electric vehicle drivers that enroll in the new Reliant FreeCharge Nights.

The Reliant FreeCharge Nights plan will be available to existing and new Reliant electricity customers, and provides a monthly bill credit that offsets the energy charges incurred from charging the qualifying EV between 11 pm and 6 am. Customers must first designate one EV to receive the charging credit in their GM Energy Smart Charging Portal before signing up for the plan.

“As we continue to shape the future of EV charging and energy management for our customers, our work alongside Reliant in Texas is a sign of our commitment to working with industry leaders to facilitate more solutions that make EV adoption an easy decision,” Aseem Kapur, chief revenue officer, GM Energy, says in a news release. “The Reliant Free Charge Nights plan is a great example of how an automaker and an energy company can work together to build the ecosystem to support the all-electric future.”

Over 150 Chevrolet dealerships can now offer the plan to EV drivers upon vehicle purchase across Texas. The plan will be powered by 100 percent renewable energy through the purchase of renewable energy certificates (RECs) equal to the customer’s electricity usage.

“We’re excited to help Chevrolet EV drivers offset the cost of charging their vehicle all while having access to a renewable electricity plan,” Rasesh Patel, president, NRG Consumer, said in a news release.
