Ameresco Awarded Solar Energy and Resiliency Project at Gagetown Base by the Canadian Department of National Defence (DND)

February 14, 2025 By Business Wire

8.9 MW solar project designed to prevent 7,695 metric tons of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere each year

Ameresco will provide full operations and maintenance services for the system over the next 25 years, ensuring long-term performance and cost savings

FRAMINGHAM, Mass. & OROMOCTO, New Brunswick–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Ameresco, Inc., (NYSE: AMRC), a leading energy solutions provider dedicated to helping customers navigate the energy transition, has been awarded a major solar energy and resiliency project at the 5th Canadian Division Support Base (CDSB) in Oromocto, New Brunswick. This large-scale solar project represents a critical step toward supporting the Government of Canada’s commitment to procure 100% clean electricity for federal facilities by 2025.




The Gagetown Solar Project, a CAD $26.7 million initiative, is set to deliver an 8.9 MWdc/7.35 MWac ground-mounted solar energy system designed to provide approximately 8,900 MWh of electricity annually to the base. This project is expected to generate around 20% of the base’s electricity needs, significantly contributing to the Department of National Defence’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. When running at full capacity, the project will prevent approximately 7,695 metric tons of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere each year and contribute to meeting emissions targets in the Defence Climate and Sustainability Strategy 2023-2027 – Canada.ca.

The 5 CDSB Gagetown solar project, which includes the placement of 14,496 solar panels across the base, will be operated and maintained by Ameresco under a 25-year contract. The energy generated will be used entirely on-site, providing the base with long-term energy security and resilience. In addition to reducing emissions, the project is expected to save the base approximately CAD $1.3 million annually in utility costs.

The project is part of Canada’s Federal Buildings Initiative, which seeks to improve the energy efficiency and sustainability of federal buildings across the country. The initiative at Gagetown is particularly significant given the size of the base, which encompasses more than 200 buildings with a total floor area exceeding 525,000 square meters.

Ameresco will design, engineer, procure, and construct the solar system, integrating it smoothly with the base’s existing electrical infrastructure. The system is equipped with advanced controls and monitoring technology to optimize performance throughout its lifecycle. The project is expected to be completed by June 2025, and Ameresco will provide full operations and maintenance services for the system over the next 25 years, ensuring long-term performance and cost savings.

“We’re proud to partner with the Department of National Defence on this important project,” said Bob McCullough, President of Ameresco Canada. “This solar energy solution is more than about powering Gagetown today — it’s about creating a cleaner, more sustainable future for Canada. By investing in renewable energy, we’re helping the country move closer to its long-term sustainability goals while delivering reliable, cost-effective power for years to come.”

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This press release may contain statements that, to the extent they are not recitations of historical fact, constitute “forward-looking statements” or “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable securities legislation, including the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and applicable Canadian securities legislation. Forward-looking statements and forward-looking information may include, among others, statements regarding the expected closing date of the Offering, the use of the net proceeds of the Offering, the expected final credit rating for the Debentures, and Granite’s plans, goals, strategies, intentions, beliefs, estimates, costs, objectives, economic performance, expectations, or foresight or the assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Words such as “may”, “would”, “could”, “will”, “likely”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “intend”, “plan”, “forecast”, “project”, “estimate”, “seek”, “objective” and similar expressions are used to identify forward-looking statements and forward-looking information. Forward-looking statements and forward-looking information should not be read as guarantees of the expected closing date of the Offering, the use of the net proceeds of the Offering, the expected final credit rating for the Debentures, or other events, performance or results and will not necessarily be accurate indications of whether or the times at or by which future events or performance will be achieved. Undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Forward-looking statements and forward-looking information are based on information available at the time and/or management’s good faith assumptions and analyses made in light of its perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors management believes are appropriate in the circumstances, and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other unpredictable factors, many of which are beyond Granite’s control, that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements and forward-looking information. Important factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to, the risks set forth in the annual information form of Granite Real Estate Investment Trust and Granite REIT Inc. dated February 28, 2024 (the “Annual Information Form”) and management’s discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial position for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 (“Q3 MD&A”). The “Risk Factors” section of the Annual Information Form and the “Risks and Uncertainties” section of the Q3 MD&A also contain information about the material factors or assumptions underlying such forward-looking statements and forward-looking information. Forward-looking statements and forward-looking information speak only as of the date the statements and information were made and unless otherwise required by applicable securities laws, Granite expressly disclaims any intention and undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements or forward-looking information contained in this press release to reflect subsequent information, events or circumstances or otherwise.
