4 UESC & ESPC Defined A Utility Energy Services Contract (UESC) and an Energy Savings Performance Contract (ESPC) are types of Performance Based Contracts offered to Federal installations to support their needs and missions on their side of the meter. UESC Direct / Streamlined Contract with the Serving Electric or Natural Gas Utility Through: Utility Area Wide Agreement (Administered by GSA) Basic Ordering Agreement Site-Specific UESC Agreement (Administered by Site Acquisitions) Efficient & effective tool to implement: Supply Side initiatives Demand Side energy and water efficiency projects Renewable energy initiatives Projects from $10K to over $100M that are either financed or funded. DOE ESPC The new DOE IDIQ contract was just awarded to 21 ESCO contractors in April, 2017 Installation specific competitive selections are initiated by Notices of Opportunity (NOOs) being sent to all ESPC IDIQ contract holders. Selection processes and criteria vary by agency. ESCO conducts comprehensive energy audit and identifies energy efficiency opportunities. Awarded ESCO arranges third-party financing designs and implements project. All cost savings accrue to the agency ESCO guarantees energy cost savings will exceed annual finance payment for the project over the term of the contract (up to 25 years) via mandatory Measurement & Verification (M&V) reporting. 4
