Ameresco Secures Ohio School District Solar Project with $365,000 Annual Savings
Event summary
- Ameresco partners with Bradford EVSD for a 304 kW rooftop solar system, backed by a state grant.
- Project expected to deliver $365,000 in annual energy savings, offsetting 46% of the district’s energy use.
- Ameresco will provide engineering, procurement, and construction services, with completion slated for 2026.

The big picture
This project aligns with broader trends in public sector decarbonization, where educational institutions are increasingly adopting on-site renewable energy solutions to reduce costs and enhance sustainability. Ameresco’s role as a full-service provider positions it well in a market where governments and institutions are prioritizing energy resilience and long-term cost savings. The inclusion of educational components may also differentiate Ameresco in competitive bidding for similar projects.
