Founded in 2000, Ameresco operates through a business model that blends project development, engineering and construction, operations and maintenance (O&M), and the ownership of renewable energy assets. The company's core Projects segment delivers performance-based contracts, such as energy savings performance contracts (ESPCs), which guarantee energy savings for clients. In addition to its construction and engineering services, Ameresco's Energy Assets segment owns and operates small-scale renewable energy plants, including solar arrays and renewable natural gas (RNG) facilities. The company also provides ongoing O&M services to ensure the long-term performance of the infrastructure it installs. By integrating distributed energy resources and battery storage, Ameresco helps large organizations reduce their carbon footprint, lower energy costs, and enhance grid resilience.
