ESPC with Ameresco provides facility upgrades
and allows the City to address long-term infrastructure needs --
paying for them through savings.
Ameresco, Inc., (NYSE:AMRC), a leading energy efficiency and
renewable energy company, announced today the nearly $2.7 million
City of Battle Creek Kellogg Arena facility energy savings
performance contract (ESPC) project is underway. The project is
designed to improve energy efficiency at the City’s Kellogg Arena
and provide necessary infrastructure improvements. It is expected
to be completed this fall.
“Ameresco recently completed the City of Battle Creek’s energy
savings project at Full Blast Recreation Department, and we are
confident that Ameresco will deliver the same quality of service,
value, comprehensive approach and efficient results for the Kellogg
Arena,” said Ted Dearing, General Manager, Battle Creek’s Kellogg
Arena. “The City continues to take a proactive stance in reducing
energy consumption and we feel by partnering with Ameresco, we can
upgrade our facilities and also utilize taxpayer dollars in the
most efficient, effective and environmentally responsible way.”
Some of the upgrades and energy conservation measures underway
include: replacing the roof, renovating and replacing seats
(bleacher mechanism replacement), LED exterior lighting retrofit,
instituting water conservation measures, enhancing building envelop
and replacing windows. These improvements are expected to enhance
the comfort for the Arena guests. These measures were also designed
to increase the efficient use of energy in the facility and to
decrease the building’s emissions and carbon footprint.
”We are honored to continue our partnership with the City with
an ESPC to enhance another important venue in downtown Battle
Creek,” said Louis P. Maltezos, Executive Vice President, Ameresco.
“Ameresco recently completed the Full Blast project delivering
ongoing energy efficiency at the Center and significant financial,
comfort and environmental benefits for the community. We expect to
do the same for the Kellogg Arena, developing an efficiency project
that improves the Arena’s infrastructure.”
Ameresco has a long history of partnering with communities
across North America to improve energy infrastructure and install
renewable energy technologies. Ameresco’s pioneering of the ESPC
financing model has made the budget-neutral solution an
increasingly popular option for customers, by providing energy
efficiency upgrades using a guaranteed savings approach. Ameresco
coordinates the upfront project costs and the customer repays that
investment with their energy savings over time.
