FRAMINGHAM – Ameresco, Inc, a Framingham-based cleantech integrator specializing in energy efficiency and renewable energy, this week announced completion of its energy conservation project with Carmarthenshire County Council (CCC) to improve the council estate’s existing energy infrastructure. Improvements made will advance Carmarthenshire County Council’s target of reaching zero-carbon emissions by 2030.
Ameresco has installed an extensive number of Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) for Carmarthenshire County Council. Project upgrades and energy-saving measures include LED lighting replacement, lighting controls, pipework insulation, building fabric improvements, boiler upgrades and optimization, CHP and district heating improvements, solar PV installation and water savings.
The implemented upgrades will significantly reduce the building’s carbon emissions by replacing aging infrastructure and optimizing the operation of existing equipment. The project will deliver annual energy savings of over two million kWh, which is approximately equivalent to £315,726 or $388,000 in annual cost savings and annual CO2 reduction of 675 tonnes.

“Working with Ameresco has allowed us to accelerate the roll-out of our energy efficiency programme in a more comprehensive manner and at a greater pace than could be achieved using limited in-house resources, said Cllr Ann Davies, Carmarthenshire County Council Executive Board Member with responsibility for climate change. “We look forward to developing further phases to help us become a net zero carbon local authority by 2030.”
Carmarthenshire County Council’s hope is that implemented improvements will enhance building staff and user’s comfortability across the council’s estate. Carmarthenshire County Council’s latest energy infrastructure overhaul will result in substantial reductions to its energy consumption and enhancements to its renewables generation.
