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.
The project is expected to be completed by June 2025 and provide the base with long-term energy security while hitting emissions reduction targets.
