Customer Highlights
Nucor Cor poration
K ing man, A Z
North America s largest steel manufacturer, Nucor Corporation, selected Ameresco to
deliver a 50 MW / 200 MWh BESS, now fully operational and supporting expanded
production at the site. The system the largest behind-the-meter project in Arizona and
the fourth largest in the U.S. enables Nucor to increase annual production capacity
to 600,000 tons, strengthening reliability and long-term operational performance. The
project includes 58 Tesla Megapack 2XL units operating under a 20-year storage services
agreement. Ameresco is also delivering a 25 MW AC solar asset, scheduled to enter
operation in 2026, further advancing Nucor s energy transition and site expansion goals.
Together, these assets stabilize electric load from Nucor s new arc furnace, reduce grid
strain, support utility load management, and increase the effective use of renewable energy.
U.S. Naval Research Laborator y
Wa shing ton, DC
As part of a comprehensive Energy Savings Performance Contract (ESPC), Ameresco is
delivering major upgrades to energy and water infrastructure at the U.S. Naval Research
Laboratory to strengthen operational resilience and mission readiness. The $197 million
project includes modernization of steam generation and distribution systems, chilled
water systems, and deployment of a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)
system to enable seamless, real-time infrastructure management. The phased scope
prioritizes critical needs such as boiler and chiller plant upgrades, site-wide LED lighting
and controls, steam and plumbing retrofits, and advanced cooling tower optimization.
Once fully implemented, the project is expected to deliver $12.5 million in annual cost
savings more than $362 million over a 21-year performance period while ensuring
uninterrupted mission-critical operations and long-term energy independence.
Cit y of Brock ton
Bro c k ton, M A
The City of Brockton is modernizing its historic civic and school facilities while promoting
long-term sustainability through its continued partnership with Ameresco. Through ESPCs,
the City has upgraded municipal and public school facilities with advanced lighting, HVAC,
energy management, and water conservation measures to maximize energy savings,
secure utility incentives, and deliver projects on time and within budget. A $7 million
ESPC at City Hall (constructed in 1892) is improving lighting, HVAC, and controls, while
a $3 million ESPC at the War Memorial Building (dedicated in 1930) includes a new HVAC
system, roof replacement, restored historic windows and trim, and efficient storm windows
Together, these investments enhance comfort, resilience, and efficiency while honoring
Brockton s architectural legacy and reinforcing a narrative of progress and fiscal responsibility.
