The Department of Energy (DOE), Washington, D.C., recently announced the award of 16 new Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPCs) that could result in up to $80 billion in energy efficiency, renewable energy, and water conservation projects at federally owned buildings and facilities.

The Department of Energy (DOE), Washington, D.C., recently announced the award of 16 new Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPCs) that could result in up to $80 billion in energy efficiency, renewable energy, and water conservation projects at federally owned buildings and facilities.

The new contracts provide for a maximum individual contract value of $5 billion over the life of the contract, eliminate technology specific restrictions, and allow federal agencies to use these contracts in federal buildings, nationally and internationally. In addition, ESPCs now include a greater emphasis on renewable energy and water conservation projects.

“This set of awards will ensure that federal agencies have access to powerful tools for alternative financing at a scale that is needed to meet our challenge of reducing energy intensity, increasing the use of renewable energy, and decreasing water consumption,” says Samuel W. Bodman, U.S. DOE secretary.

The new contracts were awarded to the following Energy Service Companies (ESCOs):

  • Ameresco, Framingham, Mass.
  • Chevron Energy Solutions, Eagan, Minn.
  • Clark Realty Builders, Arlington, Va.
  • Consolidated Edison Solutions, White Plains, N.Y.
  • Constellation Energy Projects & Services Group, Baltimore
  • FPL Energy Service, North Palm Beach, Fla.
  • Honeywell International, Golden Valley, Minn.
  • Johnson Controls Government Systems, Milwaukee, Wis.
  • Lockheed Martin Services, Cherry Hill, N.J.
  • McKinstry Essention, Seattle
  • NORESCO, Westborough, Mass.
