Ameresco commends the Administration for
accelerating the clean energy transformation
Ameresco, Inc., (NYSE: AMRC), a leading cleantech integrator
specializing in energy efficiency and renewable energy, welcomes
President Biden’s recently signed Executive Order focused on
advancing clean energy initiatives in a “leadership by example”
approach by the Federal Government. The Executive Order sets a new
goal for the Federal Government to reach carbon neutrality by 2050
and reiterates its commitment to build clean, equitable and
resilient operations at scale.
Among other ambitious goals, the order calls for modernization
of the Federal building portfolio to reach net-zero emissions by
2045, including a 50% reduction in building emissions by 2032. In
announcing the first-ever Federal Building Performance Standard,
the government declared its intention to utilize performance
contracting to improve the Federal building portfolio with no
up-front costs required. The order also outlines a commitment to
achieve 100 percent carbon pollution-free electricity use by 2030,
at least half of which will be locally supplied clean energy to
meet 24/7 demand. It also calls for at least 10 GW of new American
clean electricity production by 2030.
As Electric Vehicle (EV) expansion continues to be a focus
following discussions at COP26, the 2021 United Nations Climate
Change Conference, the order details the importance of a transition
to 100% zero-emission vehicles by 2035 for the Federal vehicle
fleet. The achievement of this initiative will create the largest
zero-emissions fleet in the Nation.
“Ameresco was founded on the principle of doing well by doing
good, and we believe performance contracting has a leading role to
play in the clean energy transformation. We applaud the ambitious
goals set forth in the Executive Order, and we thank the Biden
Administration personnel and Congressional leaders for their work
on this effort,” said Nicole Bulgarino, Executive Vice President,
Ameresco. “We have been providing performance contracting solutions
to our customers for more than 20 years and we look forward to
partnering further with the Federal Government on their clean
energy initiatives of the future.”
