[USA] “Ameresco Helps Town of Westport, Massachusetts Transform Closed Landfill into Source of Renewable Energy and Revenue”

[Ameresco, 11 June 2019]

Ameresco, an energy efficiency and renewable energy company, has partnered with the city of Westport, Massachusetts to install a 622 KW DC solar panel facility at the city’s shuttered landfill. Ameresco will be responsible for the facility’s “design, construction, operations and maintenance of the solar farm, at its own expense.” This project has been a goal for this town for the past 10 years by turning a “non-productive asset (the closed landfill) for a revenue-generating activity” while also meeting the city’s clean energy goals. The project will begin operation in August of 2019.
