New energy system expected to save the college approximately $30,000 annually and provide critical energy resilience to Building 400, one of the most populated buildings on campus

–(BUSINESS WIRE)–WHAT: Ameresco, Inc., (NYSE: AMRC), a leading energy solutions provider dedicated to helping customers navigate the energy transition, and Southwest Wisconsin Technical College invite media to attend a ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrating the completion of a new solar array and battery energy storage system (BESS) on campus.
