FEMP Update: Federal Energy Management activities, July 1985

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5696104
Since early 1984, FEMP has examined a number of innovative techniques for financing energy efficiency improvements in Federal facilities. Having identified a number of legal and procurement barriers to shared savings contracting by Federal agencies, FEMP set out to identify and explore possible solutions. Currently, it has narrowed in on three specific options which represent potentially viable approaches to Federal energy financing: (1) removing regulatory and institutional barriers to energy services contracts with the private sector; (2) implementing energy services agreements at Government Owned Contractor Operated (GOCO) facilities; and (3) establishing a government financial corporation to fund agency energy conservation investments. These possible solutions are discussed in the report. The third possibility is regarded as unlikely.
