Over the past seven years, Ameresco partnered with the officials
of San Joaquin County to develop and maintain two standalone
projects at the Foothill Landfill. In 2014, the company developed a
landfill gas-to-energy (LFGTE) facility to convert the County’s
waste into renewable energy. Following its success, Ameresco
oversaw the installation of over 13,000 solar panels on the
landfill’s underdeveloped land in 2020 to further support the
County’s long-term sustainability goals.
“With a very experienced and critical judging panel and a strict
set of judging criteria, entrants faced an extremely high bar to
qualify for an award in 2021,” says Sarah Roberts, Environment +
Energy Leader publisher.
One judge said of the San Joaquin County project, “This project
demonstrates excellent use of underutilized land at the Foothill
Landfill site and serves as a model for what others should and
could develop.”
Alongside the Top Project of the Year Award win, Ameresco will
participate in the Environment + Energy Leader Solutions Summit on
Wednesday, July 21, 2021. During a half-hour session, scheduled for
4:00 p.m. ET, representatives from San Joaquin County and Ameresco
will delve into what inspired a second project at the same
location, why it’s important to maximize underdeveloped land, and
how a similar strategy can be implemented into other projects.
Interested parties are encouraged to register for the session.
“We’re honored that the development of renewable energy
resources within San Joaquin County has been recognized with this
award,” said Supervisor Tom Patti, Chairman of the San Joaquin
County Board of Supervisors. “The Board’s prioritization to improve
our local communities through clean and secure energy resources is
of utmost importance as we plan for our energy future. The Foothill
Landfill Solar project is not only great for the environment but
obviously it helps offset the cost of rising electric costs to
local taxpayers.”
“Our collaborative partnership with the County’s officials truly
allowed us to think creatively about both the LFGTE facility and
the solar farm,” said Ameresco’s executive vice president Bob
Georgeoff. “We are honored that our work has been recognized for
its excellence by Environment + Energy Leader judges, and we are
proud to have worked with the County to lower their emissions by
over 28,500 tons annually. We look forward to championing their
ongoing sustainability efforts.”
The Environment + Energy Leader Awards is a program recognizing
excellence in products and services that provide companies with

will be announced during the Solutions Summit on July 20, 2021,
beginning at 9:15 a.m. ET. For more information and to register to
