On June 5, 2025, Ameresco, Inc. and the City of Pendleton, Oregon, hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the completion of a 240-kilowatt (kW) solar photovoltaic (PV) canopy system. The system is located at the City’s Wastewater Treatment and Resource Recovery Facility (WWTRRF).
This innovative solar canopy, the first of its kind in the region, is expected to annually generate 325,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity. This will offset approximately 30% of the WWTRRF’s total energy consumption, enhancing energy resilience and efficiency.
The project was delivered through an Energy Savings Performance Contract (ESPC) with Ameresco, which provided price and performance guarantees. In addition to energy production and cost savings, the canopy shades the WWTRRF’s chlorine contact chamber, helping to improve water quality and reduce effluent temperature.
