Reno and Atlas Project Support Form Alliance
to Provide Renewable Energy Construction Projects

Reno Contracting recently announced its collaboration with Atlas Project Support to provide energy conservation/ renewable energy solutions for clients interested in creating energy efficient buildings. These services include providing solar PV energy systems. Based in San Diego, Atlas specializes in energy conservation/ renewable energy, construction management, and cost engineering best practices.

As part of this collaborative effort, a four-member team of companies, including Atlas and Reno, has been selected to be on a short list of solar photovoltaic (PV) energy service providers for the California Department of General Services Solar Power Purchase Program. The other team members are Alternative Energy Capital, LLC, which is the financing arm of the collaboration, and design and engineering firm Syska Hennessy Group, Inc.

Under the State’s Solar Power Purchase Program, qualified solar PV energy service providers will install solar PV energy generating systems at State buildings, facilities or real estate property in order to generate and deliver electricity from solar PV energy for sale to the State department or agency under a power purchase agreement. The program is aimed to contribute to the State’s goals relative to renewable energy generation and procurements and reduction of the State’s carbon footprint.

“Atlas has admired and respected the brand of Reno for many years,” said Atlas Project Support Owner Michael Vargas. “It has been this recognition of Reno’s core values that has perpetuated our business relationship. Atlas, in its own right, has time and again proven its commitment to good governance, accountability, and personal integrity. It is a natural fit for such progressive and socially responsible companies to seek each other out.”

In addition to collaborating with Reno on the state of CA Department of General Services Solar Power Purchase Program, Atlas has performed electricity consumption/offset analysis on potential solar projects and plans to work with Reno on project development, program administration and cost engineering analysis and quality control on diverse construction projects. Reno and Atlas have focused on similar projects in energy efficiency retrofits and consulting opportunities.
