Nexamp installs 220-kW solar + storage project at Massachusetts electrical union headquarters

• Nexamp and also the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Neighborhood 103 commemorated the completion of a solar and also energy storage project at IBEW's head office in Dorchester, Massachusetts. The project will certainly offer IBEW with annual financial savings on energy expenses and also additional power in the event of a local power outage.

The system pairs 220 kWDC of solar generation on IBEW's roof covering with a ground-mounted, 200 kWhAC-coupled, lithium-ion battery energy storage space system (BESS) located behind the meter that will certainly offer 265,000 kWh of electricity annually. Nexamp is the long-term operator of this system, working very closely with IBEW to ensure efficiency as well as efficiency over the life of the project.

" Nexamp is very happy with our collaboration with IBEW as well as this project, which will certainly benefit Neighborhood 103 and its participants for several years to come," stated Zaid Ashai, Chief Executive Officer of Nexamp. "This initiative improves our historical partnership and also assists prepare us for the urgent work ahead, building a renewable and durable grid that will certainly create local jobs and assist mitigate the most awful impacts of climate change."

Two months ago, President Joe Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act into legislation, the biggest solitary investment in clean energy in united state history; and two months before that, Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker passed An Act Driving Clean Energy as well as Offshore Wind, the 2nd climate bill in 2 years focused on accelerating the state's transition to a clean energy future. With each other, these bills will accelerate renewable energy development as well as aid bring more projects, like the one at IBEW Local 103, online.

" Today marks a historical day for our union," stated Lou Antonellis, manager of IBEW Local 103. "We are committed to building a lasting, resistant and energy-efficient future for our members as well as our neighborhoods. The completion of this project shows that IBEW electrical workers are leading the way in transitioning to clean energy and resistant facilities. We have actually always had environment-friendly innovation on our campus and this project finished with Nexamp takes that to the next level."

IBEW's mixed solar and storage space system, made as well as installed by Nexamp and Lynnwell Associates, will certainly offer sufficient energy to meet nearly 70% of the electrical energy needs of IBEW's headquarters. Incorporating the solar generation with energy storage has actually the added cost-saving benefit of enabling IBEW to keep solar power when electrical energy costs are reduced and use it when rates are high. It can likewise provide much-needed backup power during disruptions triggered by increasingly frequent and extreme storms.

" Our partnership with IBEW Local 103 has actually strengthened over the past years as our company has expanded. We know this partnership with labor will certainly be essential to Nexamp's future success and also our work building out the country's clean energy framework," included Chris Perron, elderly VP of clean energy advancement at Nexamp.

This solar project will certainly match various other upgrades finished by IBEW, consisting of façade-mounted photovoltaic panels as well as a wind generator that supply power to the team's training center; wind-powered EV billing terminals in the parking area as well as solar-powered off-grid LED parking lot lights. Every one of these projects will offer training possibilities for IBEW participants that will be mounting the technologies at the heart of the clean energy change.

" Our union is walking the stroll when it comes to energy effectiveness," stated Renee Dozier, service representative at IBEW Local 103. "The conclusion of this project begins the heels of historic support from the Biden administration, via the Inflation Reduction Act as well as other procedures, that suggests our transition to renewable energy will additionally uphold as well as produce excellent union jobs."
