Ameresco announced that it achieved commercial operation at its solar PV canopy project in Reston, Virginia. The project was developed through a partnership with BXP, a workplace developer, owner and manager. The 1.3-MW solar project will help power BXP’s Reston Town Center facility.
“Ameresco has been a critical partner in the delivery of impactful solar projects,” said Ben Myers, senior VP of sustainability at BXP. “This project required overcoming several economic, technical and logistical hurdles. Ameresco’s commitment to the project, creativity and proficiency in developing on-site, clean energy in the context of the bustling Reston Town Center, was essential in making this project a success.”
This behind-the-meter project was installed by STG Solar and completed at the end of 2024. The system is mounted atop a parking garage. This innovative use of space not only increases the covered parking capacity but also transforms the garage into a megawatt-scale renewable energy plant.
