United States : Ameresco secures $133.5m energy-resilient infrastructure project at US JBSA
Publish Date : 25-Oct-2018
Ameresco has won a $133.5m energy-resilient infrastructure project at the Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA) located in Texas, US, from US Defense Logistics Agency Energy.
A military facility, JBSA works under the jurisdiction of the US Air Forces (USAF) 502d Air Base Wing, Air Education and Training Command (AETC).
As per the terms of the contract, Ameresco will have to deliver energy efficiency and reliability upgrades to 900 buildings across five military installations. The company will even be responsible for development of a microgrid that would integrate 20MW of new on-site energy photovoltaic (PV) assets, 4MW of gas-fired backup generation and 4MW / 8MWh of battery energy storage to support critical energy loads for mission assurance.
Nicole A Bulgarino, Ameresco Federal Solutions executive vice-president and general manager said, Ameresco is proud to support the mission of JBSA through energy assurance and new infrastructure. This project will provide critical infrastructure improvements to JBSA through energy conservation and will enhance the energy security of the installation through redundant, reliable backup generation assets.
The current agreement has been awarded under a self-funding Energy Savings Performance Contract (ESPC), designed to provide work to all areas of JBSA, also covering Lackland Air Force Base, Fort Sam Houston, Camp Bullis, and Medina Annex.
Nearly around 14.7 million square feet of buildings will be receiving energy and water conservation upgrades under this project, which will help in minimising energy consumption in the buildings by 24% yearly.
On-site energy systems installation will help offset electricity purchases from the grid while ensuring increased energy security and resiliency.
Scheduled for completion in mid-2021, construction on the project is estimated to begin later during this year.
