Mission
FEMP works with key individuals to accomplish energy change within
organizations by bringing expertise from all levels of project and policy implementation to enable Federal Agencies to meet energy
related goals and to provide energy leadership to the country.
4
Works to increase the proportion of renewable energy in the Federal government’s energy mix
The program does this by providing:Web-based Knowledge and ToolsDirect Project Technical Assistance Interagency CoordinationRenewable Energy Guidance and Reporting Requirements
Direct Technical Assistance supports:Distributed-scale RE projects (smaller than 10 MWs) Large-scale RE projects (larger than 10 MWs)Renewables in green building construction or major
renovations
FEMP Renewable Energy
5
Federal goals:7.5% of total electricity
must come from renewable electricity by 2013 and beyond
20% consumption of renewable electricity by 2020
28% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2020
DOD goal: Produce 3 GWs of renewables by 2025
Federal Market for Large-Scale RE Projects

Appropriations Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPC) Utility Energy Service Contracts (UESC) Enhanced Use Leases (EUL) Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) Federal and State energy incentive programs FEMP strives to:
Make performance contracting business as usual Develop the ESPC Enable program for small projects Automate processes, reduce process delays Consolidate project data Standardize documents
Methods to Accomplish Federal Facility Energy Projects

Appropriations
8
Effective Use of Appropriations and Alternative Finance to Fund Energy Efficiency Projects, John Shonder, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, 2012
Study on Funding Sources
Each appropriation dollar used to fund short-payback ECMs reduces total investment by $2.83
Private financing possible
No private financing possible
9
Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPC)
Purpose: Achieve energy savings & ancillary benefits Funding by any combination of private financing &
appropriated funds is authorized No agency payments until new equipment is
operating Cost savings are guaranteed to exceed payments Performance of energy conservation measures
(ECMs) is guaranteed ESCO is responsible for maintenance and repair of
installed equipment Measurement & Verification is required Maximum term 25 years
Agencies may not arbitrarily limit terms for their sites to under 25 years, per EISA 2007, Sec. 513
10
Utility Energy Service Contract is a broad term for a collection of contracting mechanisms which allow utilities to provide to their Federal customers: comprehensive energy and water efficiency improvements; and demand reduction services
The Utility: assesses the opportunities designs and implements the accepted Energy Conservation Measures MAY provide financing for the project
The Agency repays the Utility: from appropriations at acceptance; or over time when projects are financed
May include energy, water and renewable energy measures
May be any size May include commissioning May not be available to all facilities Utility is a long term partner

Military authority under 10 USC §2667 Leverage assets that are currently available, but not excess to
military needs Short or long term leases of land and/or buildings Must receive full market value income or services in kind Must be of direct benefit to the United States, promote the
national defense and/or be in the public interest, and must be compatible with current and anticipated future military activities at the installation.
Generally must use competitive procedures to select a lessee for any lease. The leases provide the exclusive right to possess and use specified real property for a specified period of time in exchange for fair market value consideration.
Enhanced Use Lease (EUL)
12
On-site renewable PPAs allow Federal agencies to fund on-site renewable energy projects without up-front capital costs.
A developer installs a renewable energy system on agency property with agreement that the agency will purchase the power. The developer owns, operates, and maintains the system for the life of the contract.
Agency benefits: No up-front capital costs Ability to monetize tax incentives Typically a known, long-term energy price No operations and maintenance responsibilities Minimal risk to the agency

Power Purchase Agreements (PPA)

The Guide provides a general resource that: Develops Federal employee and private sector awareness
and understanding of each other’s operating environment, goals, language, and process
Creates a methodology to:Build strong business casesDefine and mitigate risksEstablish good project characteristics
So that the private sector will: Respond to the Federal competitive process Invest in and develop the projects
Introduction to the Large-Scale RE Guide
14
DOE is applying the Guide in its implementation support to the DOE Pantex 11.5 MW ESPC wind farm
Army Energy Initiatives Task Force (EITF) has adapted much of the
process for Army-specific practice (the Guide is a companion document to the EITF process and internal Army guidance)
Committed to partnering with FEMP to meet 1 GW goal EITF supporting Fort Irwin (15 MW PV), Fort Detrick (15 MW
PV), Fort Drum (28 MW Biomass), and Fort Bliss (20 MW PV) projects
Navy Incorporated many elements of the Guide into its project
development process Looking for FEMP assistance to fine-tune its process
Use of the Large-Scale RE Guide
15
Federal agencies and private developers both want to deploy significant amounts of large-scale renewable energy projects on Federal lands using private financing.
Federal perspective is often limited to the specific authorities granted by the law and regulations.
Private sector perspective often seeks do accomplish something that is not strictly prohibited by the law or regulations.
