Ameresco’s Kūpono Solar Project honored with the Socially Responsible Project award at the 2025 Global Energy Transition Awards by Reuters Events.
The Kūpono Solar Project is the largest solar and battery energy storage system on O‘ahu. Located on U.S. Navy land at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, the 42 MW solar array and 168 MWh battery system provides clean, reliable power to approximately 10,000 homes, 44% of which are under-resourced, while reducing more than 50,000 tons of CO₂ emissions annually.
“We are pleased to be the recipient of this important award,” said George Sakellaris, President and CEO of Ameresco. “The Kūpono Solar Project demonstrates what is possible when innovation meets purpose. This award reflects the power of long-term partnerships, local investment, and our collective vision for a more resilient energy future.”
Designed with long-term community impact in mind, the project not only enhances grid stability but also supports local biodiversity, energy affordability, and economic opportunity through workforce development and sustainability education.
“We are honored to receive this recognition from Reuters,” said Nicole Bulgarino, President of Federal Solutions and Utility Infrastructure at Ameresco. “The Kūpono Solar Project reflects our commitment to delivering energy solutions that benefit communities and build resilience—through job creation, energy reliability, and education. We’re proud to lead with purpose and grateful to see that impact recognized on a global stage.”
