Cincinnati, OH
Recent legislation, regulations, and executive orders continue to push federal agencies (and the U.S. energy industry as a whole) towards a more distributed, sustainable, resilient, and interactive deployment of energy assets. As a result, the development and installation of microgrids, battery storage, and Grid-Interactive Efficient Buildings (GEBs) has become increasingly prevalent. These projects, such as energy savings performance contracts (ESPCs), provide a multitude of options to improve energy performance at all federal facilities. This session will discuss key development and implementation considerations while pursuing these dynamic energy projects.
