approximately 10,000 homes in O‘ahu and reduce more than 50,000
tons of CO2 in Hawaii’s environment
Ameresco, Inc., (NYSE: AMRC), a leading cleantech integrator
specializing in energy efficiency and renewable energy, today
announced its Kūpono Solar project in Hawaii has been recognized
with the prestigious SEAL Environmental Initiatives Award. This
esteemed accolade, presented by SEAL (Sustainability, Environmental
Achievement & Leadership) Awards, celebrates Ameresco’s
commitment to sustainability, innovation, and environmental
leadership.
A confluence of social, economic, and environmental factors made
Oʻahu an ideal candidate for this large-scale solar project. The
State of Hawaii and Hawaiian Electric Company (HECO) are pursuing
their clean energy goals at the same time the U.S. Navy is pursuing
its goals around clean and resilient energy. This project came at a
critical time to support all of these objectives. The award-winning
project is expected to reduce more than 50,000 tons of CO2 in
Hawaii’s environment, power approximately 10,000 homes in O‘ahu and
is designed to deliver the following environmental, economic, and
health benefits:
- Align with the state of Hawaii’s goal to generate 100% of its
electricity via renewable energy and reach carbon neutrality by
2045
- Support energy security and independence, in line with the
Department of Defense’s (DoD) long-term energy security initiative,
by reducing reliance on the grid
- Deliver annual carbon emission offset equivalent of 12,000
cars
- Provide a localized source of energy to stabilize energy costs
for HECO customers
- Create local construction jobs and consulting work to increase
long-term employment and boost the economy through the purchasing
of local supplies and materials
- Provide philanthropic support for community organizations,
charities, Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) education
and youth sports
- Remove carbon emission air pollutants to create a healthier
place for Hawaii residents to live, work, and play
Nicole Bulgarino, Executive Vice President & General Manager
of Ameresco, expressed the company's excitement and gratitude,
stating: “We’re proud to be a partner to the Oahu Community, HECO
and the U.S. Navy to develop and build this large scale solar and
battery energy storage project. This project brings critical clean
energy to the island and we are excited to see this work now being

Environmental Initiatives Award recognizing efforts to diversify
Hawaii’s overall energy sources with solar and energy storage
