As hurricanes, storms and natural disasters have become a common threat to communities everywhere, Ameresco recognized that cleantech solutions could help mitigate the devastating impact of these natural disasters. In 2021, as part of Ameresco\u2019s ESG program, the Company committed to developing rapidly deployable portable power stations. The three units leverage clean, solar power, and will be used to combat electric outages and ease restoration efforts in impacted communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"While hurricanes can impact every aspect of our power systems \u2013 including power outages, grid distribution issues, and extra energy demand \u2013 new strategies for energy resilience can play a key role in countering the negative impacts of extreme weather events. Sending these portable generators is a small example of how Ameresco is helping bridge the gaps in energy resiliency challenges while also giving to communities desperately in need,\" said George Sakellaris, Ameresco CEO and President.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Going forward, Ameresco plans to provide further relief through partnerships with emergency response organizations. By working with non-profit organizations, Ameresco can put these units to use quickly and extend its reach to impacted communities that need it the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Headquartered in Framingham, MA, Ameresco has more than 1,000 employees providing local expertise in the United States, Canada, and Europe. To learn more about the energy efficiency solutions offered by Ameresco, visit www.ameresco.com\/energy-efficiency\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
