For this work, Ameresco installed a 5MW solar PV and a 15 MWh battery energy storage system on land owned by CMC and leased by Ameresco. The largest complex of its kind in Colorado, the project furthers HCE’s goal of increasing the clean energy sources it provides to its members to 100% by 2030. The project also offsets 100% of the electricity use of three CMC campuses, advancing the college towards its 2050 carbon neutrality goal.

The Holy Cross Energy/Colorado Mountain College solar-plus-storage project captivated the attention of the program's distinguished panel of judges. One judge remarked "These types of projects are absolutely the type we need to reach a carbon-neutral energy future. Its benefits are obvious and substantial." Another judge added “As companies such as Ameresco continue to introduce these projects to the market, the availability of clean energy will increase, leading to carbon reduction and a significant positive impact on the environment." These testimonials affirm the exceptional impact and excellence that innovative partnerships and advanced technology have in driving sustainability and energy efficiency for communities.

The Environment + Energy Leader Awards program aims to commend excellence in products and projects that deliver significant energy and environmental benefits. Sarah Roberts, Co-President of E+E Leader, emphasized the rigorous selection process, stating, "This year’s entrants had to surpass an exceptionally high bar to qualify for an award, thanks to a seasoned and discerning judging panel as well as stringent judging criteria."
