The Government of Canada’s Department of National Defence has tasked Ameresco Inc. to build a solar energy project at the 5th Canadian Division Support Base Gagetown in Oromocto, New Brunswick, Ameresco said Feb. 13.
The CA$26.7 million (US$18.85 million), 8.9 MWdc/7.35 MWac ground-mounted solar project will deliver 8,900 megawatt-hours of electricity annually to the military base and power 20% of the base’s needs.
Ameresco will operate and maintain the solar project under the 25-year contract. The project includes the installation of over 14,000 panels. Ameresco will design, engineer, procure and construct the solar system for integration into the base’s electrical infrastructure.
