Framingham, MA-based Ameresco, Inc., a clean technology integrator specializing in energy efficiency and renewable energy, has been tapped to increase the comfort of military families on Hickam Air Force Base.

Ameresco will partner with Hickam Communities, LLC, owned and managed by Lendlease, at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii for a $102-million energy conservation project and accompanying 25-year O&M service agreement to assure the performance and savings.

The project, which brings in additional private capital without the need of congressional appropriations, will provide holistic energy solutions to modernize over 2,500 privatized military housing units, and is expected to generate $13 million in annual cost savings over the 25-year performance period.

Ameresco and Lendlease established a joint venture in 2015 known as Energy Solutions and Security, LLC. This is the second project for the joint venture to focus on clean energy, energy security and resiliency at privatized military housing communities.
