Anne Arundel County has announced the execution of a design-build contract with The Resilience Authority of Annapolis and Anne Arundel County,
and MACo Bronze Corporate Partner, Ameresco, Inc. (NYSE: AMRC), a leading energy solutions provider dedicated to helping customers navigate the energy transition, to deploy electric-vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure across 10 County-owned facilities.
Selected through a competitive bid process, Ameresco conducted a comprehensive strategic analysis of the County’s existing fleet, fueling data, and electric vehicle procurement plans, including charging simulations to determine optimal right-sized solutions. This collaboration supports the County’s transition to an electrified fleet and reflects a shared commitment to sustainability, operational efficiency, and innovation in public sector fleet management.
The County’s managed charging approach could deliver approximately $350,000 in annual utility savings once the fleet is fully electrified. The study also identified opportunities to reduce electrical capacity needs by about 2.5 megawatts across the ten facilities, freeing up capital for other priorities and ensuring flexibility for future growth.
“Our goal from the start was to identify a smart, scalable path to fleet electrification that balances cost, reliability, and long-term flexibility,” said Anne Arundel County Executive Steuart Pittman. “By partnering with the Resilience Authority and Ameresco, we’ve been able to turn thoughtful planning into measurable action. Together, we’re reducing emissions, improving operational efficiency, and investing in modern infrastructure that can evolve as the County’s needs grow.”
“We’re proud to partner with The Resilience Authority and Anne Arundel County to turn thoughtful analysis into practical, scalable infrastructure,” said Peter Christakis, President of East USA & Greece; Project Risk at Ameresco. “By right-sizing charger counts, optimizing electrical capacity, and sequencing deployment, we’re helping the County accelerate fleet electrification while controlling costs and strengthening day-to-day operations.”
A phased deployment plan will align infrastructure with expected vehicle procurement through 2026, ensuring scalability and cost control while future-proofing for continued expansion.
This collaboration reflects the County’s broader commitment to sustainability and resilience, and highlights how partnerships with experienced industry leaders like Ameresco can help local governments meet their clean energy and operational goals.
