Technical Bulletin
Save with Renewable Energy is a technical bulletin published by FEMP for renewable energy champions. Published periodically by the Department of Energy's Federal Energy Management Program, it provides up-to-date information about renewable energy systems and renewable power purchases.
This bulletin targets facility managers, contracting officials, energy specialists, and others involved in helping Federal agencies increase their use of cost-effective solar and wind energy systems. It contains information on current and planned projects, system performance and costs, and Federal goals and strategies for using renewable energy. Use of these systems increases the nation's energy security, conserves our natural resources, and reduces environmental impacts of energy use.
