DOE, ESC, NAESCO, NASEO, NCSL Partner
to Accelerate ESPC
The Energy Services Coalition (ESC) is launching a new initiative to
accelerate energy savings performance contracting funded by the U.S.
Department of Energy. Under the initiative, a landmark
multi-organizational effort between the Energy Services Coalition
(ESC), National Association of State Energy Officials (NASEO),
National Association of Energy Services Companies (NAESCO), and the
National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) was formed to
deliver an innovative program to overcome market barriers and
accelerate the use of guaranteed energy savings performance
contracting (ESPC). The ESC will accomplish this goal through the
following five actions:
 |
Encourage, engage, and guide the
creation or expansion of state chapters committed to advancing
ESPC in their respective states or territories; |
|
|
Provide the Coalition’s proven set of
tools (e.g., model contracts, procurement methods, analyses) to
all committed and interested states and State Energy Offices; |
|
|
Deliver one-on-one expert assistance
to State Energy Offices via ESPC state technical support
liaisons, as well as State Energy Office peer-to-peer technical
assistance; |
|
|
Deliver a model for an accelerated
ESPC program and self-sustaining state based program funding
mechanism; and |
|
|
Create a web based, self-reporting
metric system to refine and “true-up” state-by-state and
national results to reward success and encourage action. |
