The $140 million project is designed to enhance
the JBMDL mission capability and resiliency through critical energy
infrastructure additions and upgrades
Ameresco, Inc., (NYSE: AMRC), a leading cleantech integrator
specializing in energy efficiency and renewable energy, today
announced a continuation of a longstanding partnership with Joint
Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst (JBMDL) to provide mission-critical
energy infrastructure updates at the joint base. Defense Logistics
Agency (DLA) Energy executed a comprehensive $92 million second
phase designed to add more onsite solar power, energy efficiency
measures, and infrastructure upgrades to an initial $48 million
task order issued in 2021 for on-site solar generation. The project
will both support JBMDL’s goals to enhance their mission through
energy assurance and advance the Climate Smart Building Initiative.
The Climate Smart Buildings Initiative is a federal government
program, announced earlier this month, focused on leveraging energy
performance contracting to achieve emission reduction and
accelerate the clean energy transition.
Ameresco has served as an energy services provider to JBMDL for
more than a decade, completing an initial ESPC project at the base
in 2012 and supporting operations and maintenance (O&M) on the
systems since their completion. Ameresco is now kicking off
implementation of a range of additional energy conservation
measures (ECMs) focused on energy efficiency, additional on-site
solar generation, battery storage technology, and a new microgrid
controls system.
The total solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity to be deployed
amounts to 32 megawatts (MW)—one of the largest solar PV
installations that Ameresco has installed at a federal site.
Ameresco is also installing a 2MW/4MWh battery energy storage
system (BESS) and integrating the solar, storage, and backup
generation assets within the new microgrid. The pairing of
distributed energy generation systems with BESS and microgrid
controls is designed to assure the base’s access to uninterrupted
power in support of JBMDL’s critical missions.
“We are incredibly excited to expand our already robust
partnership with the team at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst,”
said Nicole Bulgarino, Executive Vice President of Federal
Solutions at Ameresco. “We’re eager to get started on the
integration of advanced clean technologies to create a more
resilient and sustainable energy future for the base and deliver a
project that meets the installation’s mission requirements while
also advancing the Climate Smart Building Initiative.”
In addition to the integration of distributed energy resources
and microgrid controls, the project is designed to achieve energy
demand reductions through more than 90,000 LED fixture retrofits,
wireless streetlighting controls, and advanced interior lighting
controls. Overall, the Phase 2 ECMs are designed to generate more
than $4.7 million in annual energy savings for JBMDL, a total
energy usage reduction of 22%.
The Phase 2 construction is scheduled to begin shortly and reach
completion in early 2025.
