Sustainable Energy Transformation at Conestoga College

Blackstone designed and installed a five-interconnected rooftop solar PV system to assist Conestoga College in meeting their energy demands and reducing GHG emissions on campus. Coupled with our blackPAC™ Energy Management Solution, Conestoga reduces grid consumption during peak, environmentally challenging periods when electricity is both expensive and relies on natural gas-based generation. This project brings the school closer to achieving its 80% carbon reduction goal by 2050.

• Over 3,000 solar PV panels installed on unused rooftop area.
• Generates 1.6 GWh of renewable, clean energy annually.
• Helps Conestoga meet 15% of their annual demand and shave peak demand by 57%.
• 91.56 tCO2e carbon emissions reduction per year, this is equivalent of taking 27 gas-powered cars off the road annually.
