Did you know❔Alessandro Volta invented the first electric battery in 1800, known as the voltaic pile. The term "volt," a unit of electrical potential, is named in his honor, reflecting his lasting impact on the field of electricity. Volta's legacy laid the groundwork for understanding electrical circuits and storage, which is fundamental to modern energy solutions, including solar PV systems and battery energy storage systems (BESS). Ameresco continues Volta’s pioneering spirit by developing innovative solutions in renewable energy and BESS. A lifelong resident of Como, Italy, Volta is memorialized with a museum in his name and the Volta Lighthouse, which overlooks Lake Como and the Alps and illuminates the area with red, white and green lights. #volt #BESS #Volta #legacy #innovation

Gen Z is sounding the alarm on climate change. A staggering 85% of young people are deeply concerned about the future, according to a recent survey by The Lancet Group, and they’re demanding bold solutions. It’s our responsibility to meet them where they’re at and help by investing in this next generation of changemakers. That’s why our internship program hosted over 30 students across the U.S., Canada, U.K., and Italy this year, and we hope to continue to expand opportunities for young talent worldwide. These interns engaged in hands-on projects ranging from solar and BESS development to energy efficiency and corporate strategy— building the skills they need to shape a more sustainable world. And our goal? To equip the next generation to drive the change they want to see.

We recently celebrated with Republic Services and Pacific Gas and Electric Company to launch California’s largest and most resilient landfill gas (LFG) to renewable natural gas (RNG) project at the Keller Canyon landfill. This project marks a major step towards the state's goals of 60% renewable energy by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2045. We appreciate the support from California Air Resource Board Chair Liane Randolph, California Energy Commission Chair David Hochschild, and PG&E VP Christine Cowsert Chapman, PE for their roles in advancing California's bold strategies for a net zero future. #RNG #California #LFG #sustainablefuture #netzero

The most sustainable building is the one already built. In the face of escalating climate challenges, organizations and municipalities are recognizing their critical role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. With the built environment responsible for about 40% of energy-related carbon emissions, smart retrofit options present the best opportunity to decarbonize. Our new comprehensive field guide provides building owners and operators across every sector with a holistic approach to cutting consumption, costs, and carbon including setting net zero goals, gaining efficiency, shifts in thermal energy and renewable electricity, and assembling a decarbonization plan.
