"We are excited to have HASI supporting us on a path to a net zero future, centered on clean and resilient energy solutions. The Construction and Development Loan along with the extension of our Delayed Draw Term Loan A facility, demonstrate Ameresco’s strong relationship with financing partners that can provide the capital needed to fund our current and future growth."

"We are pleased to continue our long-standing partnership with Ameresco and contribute to the ongoing expansion of their business.
