Ameresco, Inc. secured a new energy‑savings performance contract to retrofit the entire Saginaw Public Schools district with LED lighting, replacing more than 12,000 existing fixtures across 12 schools, three service‑related facilities, and the district’s Board of Education administration building.
The retrofit, which began in early April 2026 and is slated for completion in August 2026, will install energy‑efficient LED units and advanced lighting controls, delivering measurable reductions in electricity consumption and operating costs for the district.
The contract is structured as an ESPC, allowing the district to benefit from the savings without an upfront capital outlay while Ameresco earns a share of the resulting energy cost reductions.
This win adds to Ameresco’s growing portfolio of public‑sector projects and reinforces its long‑standing partnership with the Saginaw district, which has worked with the company for many years.
The retrofit supports Ameresco’s broader strategy to expand its energy‑efficiency services in the public‑sector market, contributing to the company’s backlog that exceeded $5 billion as of December 31, 2025 and underpinning its guidance for 2026 revenue of approximately $2.1 billion.
The contract’s addition to the backlog highlights Ameresco’s continued focus on delivering cost‑effective, low‑carbon solutions for educational institutions, aligning with the district’s sustainability goals and the company’s commitment to expanding its footprint in the public‑sector market.
The retrofit is expected to generate significant energy savings for the district, further demonstrating Ameresco’s ability to deliver tangible cost reductions and support its clients’ sustainability objectives.
