Southwest Wisconsin Technical College and Ameresco Celebrate Completion of Solar and Battery Storage Project
Ameresco (NYSE: AMRC) and Southwest Wisconsin Technical College have completed a groundbreaking $1.6 million solar and battery storage project on campus. The installation features a 300-kilowatt solar array and a 125-kilowatt battery energy storage system (BESS).
The innovative system is designed to offset approximately 60% of the electricity consumption in Building 400, one of the campus's most active facilities during summer months. The project is expected to generate annual utility cost savings of about $30,000 while providing important backup power to the Student Services building during outages.
As the first solar and storage system of its kind on campus, it will serve as a practical learning resource for students pursuing careers in renewable energy and sustainability. The official ribbon-cutting ceremony is scheduled for April 24, 2025, at the Solar Field behind the Knox Learning Center in Fennimore, Wisconsin.
Ameresco (NYSE: AMRC) e il Southwest Wisconsin Technical College hanno completato un innovativo progetto solare e di accumulo con batterie da 1,6 milioni di dollari nel campus. L'impianto comprende un parco solare da 300 kilowatt e un sistema di accumulo energetico con batterie (BESS) da 125 kilowatt.
Il sistema all'avanguardia è progettato per coprire circa il 60% del consumo elettrico dell'Edificio 400, una delle strutture più attive nel campus durante i mesi estivi. Il progetto dovrebbe generare un risparmio annuo sulle bollette di circa 30.000 dollari, offrendo inoltre un'importante fonte di energia di riserva per l'edificio dei Servizi agli Studenti in caso di interruzioni di corrente.
Essendo il primo sistema solare e di accumulo di questo tipo nel campus, rappresenterà una risorsa didattica pratica per gli studenti che intraprendono carriere nelle energie rinnovabili e nella sostenibilità. La cerimonia ufficiale di inaugurazione è prevista per il 24 aprile 2025, nel campo solare dietro il Knox Learning Center a Fennimore, Wisconsin.
Ameresco (NYSE: AMRC) y Southwest Wisconsin Technical College han finalizado un innovador proyecto solar y de almacenamiento con baterías de 1,6 millones de dólares en el campus. La instalación cuenta con un arreglo solar de 300 kilovatios y un sistema de almacenamiento de energía con baterías (BESS) de 125 kilovatios.
El sistema innovador está diseñado para compensar aproximadamente el 60% del consumo eléctrico del Edificio 400, una de las instalaciones más activas del campus durante los meses de verano. Se espera que el proyecto genere un ahorro anual en costos de servicios públicos de alrededor de 30,000 dólares, además de proporcionar una fuente importante de energía de respaldo para el edificio de Servicios Estudiantiles durante cortes de energía.
Como el primer sistema solar y de almacenamiento de este tipo en el campus, servirá como un recurso práctico de aprendizaje para los estudiantes que buscan carreras en energías renovables y sostenibilidad. La ceremonia oficial de inauguración está programada para el 24 de abril de 2025, en el campo solar detrás del Knox Learning Center en Fennimore, Wisconsin.
Ameresco (NYSE: AMRC)와 Southwest Wisconsin Technical College는 캠퍼스 내에서 획기적인 160만 달러 규모의 태양광 및 배터리 저장 프로젝트를 완료했습니다. 설치된 시스템은 300킬로와트 태양광 어레이와 125킬로와트 배터리 에너지 저장 시스템(BESS)을 포함합니다.
이 혁신적인 시스템은 여름철 캠퍼스에서 가장 활발한 시설 중 하나인 400동의 전력 소비량 약 60%를 상쇄하도록 설계되었습니다. 이 프로젝트는 연간 약 3만 달러의 전기요금 절감을 기대하며, 정전 시 학생 서비스 건물에 중요한 백업 전력을 제공합니다.
캠퍼스 내 최초의 태양광 및 저장 시스템으로서, 재생 에너지와 지속 가능성 분야의 진로를 추구하는 학생들에게 실질적인 학습 자원이 될 것입니다. 공식 개막식은 2025년 4월 24일, 위스콘신 페니모어에 위치한 Knox Learning Center 뒤 태양광 발전소에서 열릴 예정입니다.
Ameresco (NYSE : AMRC) et le Southwest Wisconsin Technical College ont achevé un projet innovant de panneaux solaires et de stockage par batteries d’une valeur de 1,6 million de dollars sur le campus. L’installation comprend un parc solaire de 300 kilowatts et un système de stockage d’énergie par batteries (BESS) de 125 kilowatts.
Ce système novateur est conçu pour compenser environ 60 % de la consommation électrique du bâtiment 400, l’un des bâtiments les plus utilisés du campus durant l’été. Le projet devrait générer des économies annuelles sur la facture d’électricité d’environ 30 000 dollars, tout en fournissant une source d’énergie de secours essentielle au bâtiment des services aux étudiants en cas de coupure.
Premier système solaire et de stockage de ce type sur le campus, il servira de ressource pédagogique pratique pour les étudiants se destinant aux carrières dans les énergies renouvelables et la durabilité. La cérémonie officielle d’inauguration est prévue pour le 24 avril 2025, dans le champ solaire situé derrière le Knox Learning Center à Fennimore, dans le Wisconsin.
Ameresco (NYSE: AMRC) und das Southwest Wisconsin Technical College haben ein bahnbrechendes Solar- und Batteriespeicherprojekt im Wert von 1,6 Millionen US-Dollar auf dem Campus abgeschlossen. Die Anlage umfasst ein 300-Kilowatt-Solarmodul und ein 125-Kilowatt-Batteriespeichersystem (BESS).
Das innovative System ist darauf ausgelegt, etwa 60% des Stromverbrauchs im Gebäude 400, einer der aktivsten Einrichtungen auf dem Campus während der Sommermonate, auszugleichen. Das Projekt soll jährliche Einsparungen bei den Stromkosten von rund 30.000 US-Dollar erzielen und bietet zudem wichtige Notstromversorgung für das Gebäude der Studentendienste bei Stromausfällen.
Als erstes Solar- und Speichersystem dieser Art auf dem Campus dient es als praktische Lernressource für Studierende, die eine Karriere im Bereich erneuerbare Energien und Nachhaltigkeit anstreben. Die offizielle Einweihungsfeier ist für den 24. April 2025 auf dem Solarfeld hinter dem Knox Learning Center in Fennimore, Wisconsin, geplant.
