Case Study: Town of Natick achieves significant energy cost savings and 240,000 kWh/year solar generation with Ameresco's 1.08 MW Solar PPA

Natick Solar PV Systems Generate 240,000 kWh of Energy Annually

The Town of Natick sought to lower rising utility costs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions across six municipal buildings. To accomplish this, the Town entered a 20-year solar photovoltaic power purchase agreement (PPA) with Ameresco, procuring renewable electricity at a rate below its previous utility price and with no upfront cost to the Town.

Ameresco designed, installed, and will own, operate, and maintain a 1.08 MW roof‑mounted solar PV system across the six buildings. Under Ameresco’s PPA the system generates roughly 240,000 kWh annually, delivers a 20‑year discounted electricity rate and reduced annual energy costs, avoids about 474 metric tons of CO2 per year, and includes on-site performance displays and classroom teaching materials.
