Power Quality & Reliability
With today's advanced systems and equipment, the quality of power can make a big difference in how the equipment operates. Even millisecond power disturbances can cause equipment to shut down. Ameresco can diagnose problems in your electrical systems that affect power quality, then design and implement solutions for new and upgraded power systems that deliver the quality you need to deliver goods and services.
Transformed Power
Would it be cost effective to install a dedicated substation at your site so that you can receive high-tension primary electrical supply at a lower rate? Ameresco can assess the costs and benefits, then follow through with installation of primary power switchgear and transformers. Our experience ensures full compliance with all environmental codes related to the selection and installation of equipment. We can also provide operation and maintenance for new equipment, once installed.
Performance Contracting
Through performance contracting, we can deliver a comprehensive cost reduction project that is entirely self-funding. Ameresco provides both the capital to upgrade the facility and the annual repair and maintenance costs. The cost of the project is paid from the savings realized, and you typically see a positive cash flow.

Demand-Side Management
Ameresco works collaboratively with you to identify and implement capital projects and operational modifications that reduce the ownership, operations and maintenance costs of energy-consuming systems and equipment. We'll also help you secure any rebates offered by utilities, state or federal resources. Types of projects developed for customers include the following:
Equipment Efficiency - Equipment replacement, system component retrofit, energy recovery equipment addition
Operational Efficiency - Operating procedures modification, controls addition, control sequence refinement, maintenance practices alteration
Load Management - Energy source switching, dual fuel capability, operating schedule modifications, converted energy storage
Process Productivity - Production flow refinement, capacity bottlenecking reduction production line speed increases, new process technology
