RENO, Nev., Jan. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Estuary Power achieved final completion of all phases of its Escape Solar and Storage project in Lincoln County, Nevada in December 2025. Escape is now supplying 185 megawatts (“MW”) of solar energy and 400 megawatt-hours (“MWh”) of battery storage capacity to four Nevada customers. 

Upon reaching final completion, Escape began supplying 115 MW of solar energy and 400 MWh of battery capacity to MGM Resorts International (“MGM”) under a 25-year agreement. The combined solar and battery project provides MGM with renewable energy in the hours that it is needed most and contributes to MGM’s sustainability goals. Previously, in June 2025, Escape began supplying a total of 70 MW of solar energy to Overton Power District No. 5, Caesars Entertainment, and Wynn Las Vegas under long-term power purchase agreements. 

“Estuary is proud to serve some of Nevada’s most recognized commercial and public-power customers with economical and reliable renewable energy,” said Jill Daniel, CEO of Estuary Power. “The Escape Project — an unusually complex project delivered ahead of an already accelerated schedule — demonstrates Estuary’s ability to develop, finance, and deliver large-scale energy infrastructure through creativity, agility, and disciplined execution. We are grateful for the trust of our customers and the support of our partners and community in making this project a success.”

“With this new project coming online, we are accelerating progress toward our goal of using 100% renewable electricity domestically by 2030,” said Bill Hornbuckle, CEO and President of MGM. “Together with our Mega Solar Array, the new Escape Solar and Storage Project reflects our focus on scalable, impactful clean-energy solutions. It also demonstrates that our industry can operate more sustainably while delivering long-term cost stability, strengthening our business and supporting a more resilient energy future.”

Also in late 2025, Escape closed the final funding pursuant to a tax equity investment commitment by Morgan Stanley Renewables Inc. and achieved term conversion of its long-term construction-to-term loan provided by Denham Capital on behalf of its clients. Escape’s permanent capital structure also includes a letter of credit facility provided by Norddeutsche Landesbank Girozentrale (Nord/LB). 

Escape’s solar arrays were constructed by Bechtel Infrastructure and Power Corporation. Tesla, Inc. supplied and installed the battery energy storage system. Its substation and certain transmission upgrades were completed by Dashiell Corporation. JinkoSolar supplied TOPCon photovoltaic modules.

Estuary Power, based in Reno, Nevada, develops, owns, and operates large-scale energy generation, storage, and transmission projects in the western United States. Estuary is financially backed by Ullico Infrastructure Fund (“UIF”), a $6.3 billion infrastructure fund.

AURORA, Ill., Jan. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Chicagoland speaker and author Behati Hart announces the release of her new memoir, “Just BE: Unmasking and Becoming Human Again,” a deeply personal exploration of what happens when high-achieving women stop performing who they are expected to be—and begin living as who they truly are.

Written for women, caregivers, professionals, and creatives navigating burnout and identity fatigue, “Just BE” examines the emotional cost of constantly “holding it together” in systems that reward performance over authenticity.

“Across the country, women are emotionally overloaded and quietly unraveling under the pressure to keep performing and saying, ‘I’m fine,'” said Hart, a Black and Indigenous Air Force veteran, speaker, and Life Architect. “My story shows what happens when we remove those performative masks and authentically reconnect with who we truly are.”

Central to the book is the concept of masking—the strategic performance of a self, for example, that hides needs, emotions, and identity to remain safe, employed, accepted, or likable.

“We all mask to survive systems that require performance over authenticity—systems that were never designed for your full humanity,” Hart said. “You learned to mask because it worked. It kept you safe, employed, included, loved. But when you’ve worn masks long enough, you forget what’s underneath. Unmasking gives us permission to reclaim our authentic selves and remember who we are.”

Hart’s personal story reflects a growing national reckoning. After more than 30 years of public service, she was forced out of federal leadership in March 2025. Two months later, she received diagnoses of ADHD and anxiety—revealing decades of masking to function in systems never designed for her neurodivergent mind. As perimenopause lowered estrogen levels that had previously helped regulate ADHD symptoms, the executive function skills she relied on began to falter. What followed was a profound mental and physical collapse that ultimately became what Hart calls her radical liberation: the unmasking.

“Taking the masks off allowed me to breathe deeply for the first time,” Hart writes. “My neurodivergence wasn’t a disorder to manage—it was a doorway to multidimensional thinking, creative solutions, and sovereignty.”

Nationally, the patterns Hart describes are increasingly visible. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, hundreds of thousands of women have exited the workforce in recent years, with women of color disproportionately impacted as systemic pressures and workplace inequities persist.

Hart’s message resonates particularly strongly in Chicago and across the Midwest, where adult ADHD diagnoses are rising, mental health providers are stretched thin, and women are leaving burnout-heavy careers in record numbers—prompting renewed conversations around identity, wellness, and sustainable ways of living.

Blending humor, humanity, and higher consciousness, “Just BE” offers readers a practical and inspiring roadmap for cultivating balance, resilience, and inner clarity. Drawing on spiritual and ancestral practices, Hart invites readers to rethink mental and emotional well-being beyond productivity and performance.

“Personally, this book is about liberation—unadulterated freedom from ways of living that no longer serve who I am becoming,” Hart said. “This book is an ego death and rebirth. This book is my legacy. I hope people who think, look, and feel like me will feel empowered to take off their masks and tell their own stories.”

TAIPEI, January 20, 2026 /3BL/ – Federal Express Corporation (FedEx), one of the world’s largest express transportation companies, continues to deepen its corporate social responsibility (CSR) by hosting two “FedEx x RE-THINK Beach Cleanup” events in November. Held in the Ruifang and Wanli districts of New Taipei City, the initiative mobilized nearly 60 employees and their families. Together, they removed over 450 kilograms of marine debris, demonstrating a concrete commitment to supporting opportunities that safeguard Taiwan’s coastlines.

FedEx has actively participated in cleanup initiatives such as this over the years, having previously organized numerous river clean-up activities to safeguard the headwaters of Taiwan’s river systems. This year marks the company’s first collaboration with RE-THINK Environmental Education Association, extending its environmental initiatives from “river cleanups” to “beach cleanups.” This approach connects mountain-to-ocean conservation efforts and demonstrates the company’s determination to engage people and communities alongside business development.

To deepen environmental awareness, FedEx arranged a “Marine Debris Education Workshop” prior to the cleanup, led by an expert RE-THINK instructor who explained the sources of marine waste and its long-term environmental impact. This session elevated the activity from a cleanup into a profound educational experience, encouraging participants to move beyond simply picking up waste to reducing it at the source in their daily lives.

The selection of the cleanup sites was strategically significant. According to environmental surveys, over 50% of Taiwan’s marine waste accumulates on just 10% of its coastline. The chosen locations in Ruifang and Wanli are situated within the heavily polluted Northern Coast belt, with Ruifang previously identified as having the highest density of coastal waste in Taiwan.

Volunteers encountered large amounts of industrial waste, beverage cups, and disposable utensils—an experience that prompted deeper reflection on resource recycling. Parents also used the opportunity to involve their children, turning the cleanup into hands-on environmental education. The volunteers’ enthusiasm even inspired nearby visitors to join spontaneously, amplifying the event’s positive impact.

“From river cleanups in previous years to this year’s coastal cleanup, FedEx is committed to taking part in activities that contribute to our local communities,” said Paul Sousa, managing director of FedEx Taiwan. “We will continue to drive community engagement and expand on these cleanup initiatives, encouraging more team members and their families to participate—making awareness about environmental stewardship an integral part of our company culture.”

Founded in 2013, RE-THINK has dedicated itself to marine conservation, organizing over 200 beach cleanups with more than 90,000 participants and removing over 330 tons of marine debris to date. “We are honored to unite with FedEx in driving corporate sustainability,” said Jason Huang, Founder of RE-THINK. “Collaborations like this allow more enterprises to see the value of our efforts. We hope to see more organizations join us in supporting environmental education through action.”
