Federal On-Site Distributed Energy Procurement Options
This resource from FEMP outlines various procurement pathways available to federal agencies seeking to deploy distributed energy projects on-site. It compares approaches such as energy savings performance contracts (ESPCs), utility energy service contracts (UESCs), power purchase agreements (PPAs), and direct appropriations. The guide discusses advantages, limitations, financing structures, and contractual considerations for each option. By understanding the procurement landscape, agencies can select the method that best aligns with their goals, budget constraints, and risk tolerance.
