Ameresco’s $47 million cleantech project was
recognized among nineteen other global smart cities projects for
its innovative, cost-effective, and sustainable design
Ameresco, Inc., (NYSE: AMRC), a leading cleantech integrator
specializing in energy efficiency and renewable energy, today
announced it has received a 2024 Smart 20 Award for its LED
Streetlighting, Controls and Networking Project, in partnership
with Memphis Light, Gas and Water (MLGW) and the City of Memphis.
The winning project is expected to result in annual energy savings
of over 37 million kWh and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by over
26,000 metric tons in the Memphis area. The project also supports
the City’s sustainability goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions
by 51% below 2016 levels by 2035.
As background, the Smart 20 Awards, which is spearheaded by
Smart Cities Connect Spring Conference and Expo, showcases the most
transformative smart projects across the globe with current or
future municipal-scale impact and application. The awards celebrate
innovative smart projects with measurable results including
improving quality of life, garnering cost savings, and decreasing
emissions.
“We appreciate this recognition of our innovative streetlighting
project located in the nation’s 28th-largest city, Memphis, TN,”
said Lou Maltezos, EVP, Ameresco. “This strategic project with
Memphis Light, Gas and Water (MLGW) and the City of Memphis, will
result in marked annual energy savings and emissions reductions.
We’re proud to support the City’s next stage of growth with this
clean, sustainable infrastructure solution.”
Ameresco was recognized for their success in upgrading over
77,000 citywide streetlights from high pressure sodium luminaires
to energy efficient LED fixtures across the Memphis area. The $47
million cleantech project brought forth significant investment in
the Memphis economy through collaboration with local talent who
were hired to participate in the construction of the streetlighting
upgrades. In addition, the project is expected to result in 55%
savings in energy consumption, ultimately allowing the upgrades to
pay for themselves over the life of the system.
Ameresco’s deep expertise has been invaluable throughout our
complex LED lighting upgrade and controls integration project,”
said Doug McGowen, president and CEO of Memphis Light, Gas and
Water. “Their team’s knowledge was instrumental in every step, from
initial evaluation to final implementation. Even though we are
still in the final completion phase, the outcome of this LED
lighting initiative has already been outstanding, providing better
lighting for the residents of Memphis and simultaneously saving
energy.”
Ameresco will celebrate the award on May 7, 2024, alongside
fellow nominees at a reception preceding the annual Smart Cities
Connect Conference and Expo in Raleigh, North Carolina.
