Rooftop solar installations and LED lighting upgrades across two county facilities will deliver long-term cost savings and advance the County’s broader decarbonization goals
FRAMINGHAM, MA and MIAMI, FL – April 13, 2026 – Ameresco, Inc., (NYSE: AMRC), a leading energy infrastructure solutions provider, today announced a collaboration with Miami-Dade County under a Guaranteed Energy, Water, and Wastewater Performance Savings Contract (ESPC) to implement energy conservation measures across two key facilities: the Miami-Dade Children’s Courthouse and the E.R. Graham Building.
The project includes the design and installation of rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) systems and comprehensive interior and exterior LED lighting retrofits at the Children’s Courthouse and the E.R. Graham Building. Together these measures deliver significant improvements in energy efficiency and facility performance. With these combined measures, the project is expected to reduce annual electrical expenditures.
“We’re proud to partner with Ameresco on these critical energy infrastructure upgrades, which will help ensure our facilities remain reliable and efficient for the community,” said Dr. Jason Grant, Senior Energy Resilience Program Manager of Miami-Dade County’s Office of Real Estate and Development. “This project also enables the County to make meaningful progress toward our broader sustainability goals while prioritizing the critical services our residents depend on every day.”
These upgrades align with Miami-Dade County’s long-term sustainability strategy for resilient buildings and infrastructure. By leveraging on-site renewable energy, energy-efficient lighting, and advanced energy technology solutions, the project will help lower operating expenses, reduce energy consumption, and support ongoing efforts to modernize the county’s infrastructure.
“Ameresco has a longstanding partnership with Miami-Dade County to deliver solutions that create long-term value for the community,” said Lou Maltezos, Co-President of Ameresco. “We’re proud to continue that partnership through this ESPC, working closely with the county to advance practical improvements that strengthen their facilities and support operational priorities.”
This initiative builds on Ameresco’s growing role in South Florida, reflecting a history of successful collaboration with local governments to deliver comprehensive energy infrastructure and efficiency solutions across the region.
