Federal energy projects require funding to generate results. Carefully matching available financing mechanisms with specific project needs can make the difference between a stalled, unfunded project and a successful project generating energy and cost savings.
FEMP supports Federal agencies in identifying, obtaining, and implementing alternative financing to fund energy projects. These alternative financing mechanisms include:
- Energy Savings Performance Contracts
- Utility Energy Services Contracts
- Power Purchase Agreements
- Energy Incentive Programs
Federal agencies can take advantage of these alternative financing mechanisms, choosing the best fit for their project needs. That often means a combination of financing mechanisms and agency appropriations.
