Ameresco, Inc. announced its strategic partnership with the Public Schools of Tarrytowns. Following a thorough Request for Proposals (RFP) process, Energia, the engineering firm acting as the Owner's Representative during project development and implementation, chose Ameresco as the winner to lead the Comprehensive Energy Audit. The key goals of the program include lighting improvements, energy management systems upgrades, a district-wide solar PV initiative with a capacity of 832.2 kWh, and a curriculum enhancement program supporting STEM learning for students.

Specifically, the solar array, with an expected annual production of over 1,066,441 kWh, will significantly contribute to Tarrytowns' sustainability and renewable energy efforts. The proposed project aligns with the innovative Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) model under NYS Energy Law Article 9 and will ensure a budget-neutral solution, providing guaranteed savings and performance. The project aims to bring taxpayer relief, presenting a fixed-price facility improvement project funded out of the guaranteed energy savings in addition to further opportunities to engage the community.
