The new microgrid system is for several of the base’s potable
water wells and is designed to include a new 700kW solar
photovoltaic array, a 500kW natural gas generator and a 500kW
battery energy storage system. The system is designed to provide 14
days of power to energize the water wells in the event of a power
outage, supporting critical missions at the Army Research Lab,
Material Test Directorate, fire department, and a Fort Bliss power
projection platform.
“We are excited to implement this project to enhance the
reliability of WSMR’s energy system,” said Dave McNeil, President
and CEO of HSGS-Ameresco. “This diverse solution set will
strengthen the base’s energy and water resilience, so that it is no
longer dependent on a single source of power.”
The scope of the project also features updated electrical
panels, transformers and controls; a fiber optic communication
line, a fire alarm system, meters, cyber security measures,
anti-terrorism measures and security fencing, among others.
HSGS-Ameresco will provide all supervision, labor, materials,
equipment, supplies and transportation necessary to perform the
microgrid project.
“We’re thrilled to have been selected as a partner on this
project for a site that is so important to our national security,”
said Nicole Bulgarino, Executive Vice President, Ameresco. “This
micro-grid system is designed to enable the base to provide
continuous power during a loss of utility event for wells on site
that provide critical water supply to the installation.”
Construction is set to begin in December 2022 and is expected to
reach completion by late 2023.

About White Sands Missile Range
Comprised of 3,200 squares miles (roughly the size of Rhode
Island and Delaware) White Sands Missile Range supports the Army,
Navy and Air Force, as well as commercial and international users
on a reimbursable basis while conducting more than 3,000 tests
annually. The mission at White Sands Missile Range begins with a
customer, a service developer, a foreign ally or another federal
agency ready to find out if their engineers and scientists have
built something that will perform according to job specifications.
It ends when an exhaustive series of test have been completed and a
data report has been delivered to the customer.
The announcement of a customer’s entry into project contract is

Ameresco’s portion of this project was not included in our
previously reported contracted backlog as of June 30, 2022.
