Energy services company Noresco LLC of Westborough has been chosen to implement a $14 million energy savings agreement for the Nevada Department of Corrections (NDOC). The agreement calls for a guarantee from NORESCO to lower annual energy use.
NORESCO plans to add energy improvements to four Nevada correctional sites, including Southern Desert Correctional Center, High Desert State Prison, Lovelock Correctional Center and the Northern Nevada Correctional Center.
According to the energy company’s plans, the project includes improvements to the NDOC’s lighting system and building control system, as well as a well water heat exchange piping loop completion. The upgrades will save the NDOC about $1.5 million annually in utility and operations costs, and it will lower carbon dioxide emissions by 18,725 tons per year, NORESCO officials said.
Noresco was founded as Northeast Energy Services Co. Inc. in 1984. Over the years, the company has built on-site energy facilities that generate more than 350 megawatts of power, and reports helping its customers improve energy efficiency by saving more than 31 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity. NORESCO is owned by Carrier Corp., a subsidiary unit of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX).
