BXP鈥檚 Reston Town Center parking garage now features a sleek solar installation by Ameresco
The 1.3 MW solar photovoltaic system is expected to provide an estimated 1.5 million kilowatt-hours of renewable energy annually, benefiting BXP鈥檚 Reston Town Center facility. This initiative offers cost-savings through competitive energy pricing, bolsters energy security, and reduces dependence on the electric grid.
鈥淎meresco has been a critical partner in the delivery of impactful solar projects,鈥� said Ben Myers, Senior Vice President of Sustainability at BXP. 鈥淭his project required overcoming several economic, technical, and logistical hurdles. Ameresco鈥檚 commitment to the project, creativity, and proficiency in developing on-site, clean energy in the context of the bustling Reston Town Center, was essential in making this project a success.鈥�
This behind-the-meter project was completed at the end of 2024. The system is mounted atop a parking garage. This innovative use of space not only increases the covered parking capacity but also transforms the garage into a megawatt-scale renewable energy plant.
