Willdan Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:WLDN) announced today that Utah State University (USU) has awarded it a contract to develop a strategic decarbonization plan for the USU central utility plant. As part of this contract, Willdan will identify and help prioritize a series of projects for construction that focus on the campus’s central heating, cooling, and power generation systems. This contract is part of a larger initiative led by the USU Greenhouse Gas Reduction Steering Committee to accelerate the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and become a carbon-neutral campus by 2050.
“We’re pleased to offer Utah State University the expertise of our in-house engineers, developers, and energy policy experts as they take this important step,” said Tom Brisbin, Willdan’s CEO and Chairman. “USU is one of the largest energy consumers in the state, so the projects we identify may have a significant impact on the future of building decarbonization in Utah.”
