The Gen4 contract has a hefty budget ceiling of $5 billion, spread over a decade. Notably, Ameresco has a robust track record with the contract’s previous iterations, successfully executing projects worth an aggregate of over $2 billion.

Speaking on the occasion, Nicole Bulgarino, the Executive Vice President and General Manager of Ameresco Federal Solutions, expressed the company’s commitment to furthering their long-standing collaborations with the DOE. She emphasized Ameresco’s active role in offering ground-breaking power generation, energy storage, and resilience solutions across various military and civilian agencies.
