Ameresco, Inc. announced that it achieved commercial operation at its solar PV canopy project in Reston, Virginia. The project was developed through a partnership with BXP, Inc. The 1.3 MW solar photovoltaic system is expected to provide an estimated 1.5 million kilowatt-hours of renewable energy annually, benefiting BXP's Reston town Center facility. This initiative offers cost-savings through competitive energy pricing, bolsters energy security, and reduces dependence on the electric grid.

This behind-the-meter project was completed at the end of 2024. The system is mounted atop a parking garage. This innovative use of space not only increases the covered parking capacity but also transforms the garage into a megawatt-scale renewable energy plant.

Achieving commercial operations for the solar canopy project marks a significant milestone in Ameresco's ongoing efforts to deliver innovative energy solutions that promote sustainability and resilience. As Reston Town Center benefits from this energy initiative, Ameresco and BXP remain dedicated to delivering cost-effective and reliable energy solutions to the community.
