Ameresco has completed construction on a 1.2-MW solar carport project at Killeen Regional Airport in Texas. In addition to the solar carport at the short-term parking and rental lots, Ameresco completed LED retrofitting throughout the airport.
“Ameresco is proud to partner with Killeen Regional Airport on this solar-powered covered parking project,” said Lou Maltezos, President of Central & Western USA, Canada Regions at Ameresco. “By integrating solar technology and energy-efficient lighting, this great project not only modernizes the airport infrastructure but also delivers significant cost savings.”
The project was made possible through a competitive grant process with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airport Terminals Program (ATP). The final scope of the project amounted to over $7 million, with a grant award of $5 million. This investment is estimated to offset 68% of the airport’s purchased electricity.
