Ameresco will design, supply and install solar
PV systems to 175 homes across Bristol and North Somerset, U.K.
Ameresco, Inc., (NYSE: AMRC), a leading
cleantech integrator specializing in energy efficiency and
renewable energy, today announced its partnership with the Bristol
City Council on a £1 million solar PV project. As part of the
project, Ameresco will design, supply and install solar PV systems
to 175 homes across Bristol and North Somerset, U.K.
The implemented solar PV will provide an energy savings of
3,400kWh per year, which is equivalent to a carbon savings of 162
tonnes annually. Each home will also be outfitted with on average
10 panels capable of generating 375W of electricity, as well as
various other energy-efficient technologies including battery
storage.
The council was awarded funding for the Bright Green Homes
Project by the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial
Strategy (BEIS) via the Green Homes Grant, which promotes the
installation of energy-efficient solutions in low-income, low
EPC-rated households. The Green Homes Grant was established with
the intention of fully funding the implementation of £10,000 worth
of renewable solutions for eligible homes by the end of March
2022.
“Through the Bright Green Homes project, we are directly
impacting Bristol’s carbon emissions, safeguarding local jobs and
providing residents with a reliable source of green energy,” said
Councillor Nicola Beech, Bristol Cabinet Member for Environment,
Ecology, Energy and Waste. “We know that tackling household
emissions will have a big part to play in our ongoing journey to
become a carbon-neutral city by 2030, and schemes like this can
have a tremendous impact on reducing household energy bills and
tackling fuel poverty.”
Ameresco is using local contractors and firms, such as
SolarSense, to deliver scheduled PV installations quickly and with
minimal disruption to community residents and their homes.
“We are thrilled to help transform the state of renewable energy
in Bristol, as well as enhance the lives of hundreds of residents
through the implementation of state-of-the-art renewable
solutions,” said Britta MacIntosh, Senior Vice President, Ameresco.
“We take pride in knowing that our work will ensure the city and
its residents realize significant cost savings and live a more
sustainable life.”
Construction began in October 2021and will continue until at
least March 2022.
