ENERGY PERFORMANCE CONTRACTING (EPC) APRIL 26, 2016 ROANOKE, VA APRIL 28, 2016 RICHMOND, VA

GOVERNOR’S EXECUTIVE ORDER 31 SIGNED OCTOBER 16, % REDUCTION BY 2017 USING BASE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO USE EPC STATE AGENCIES AND PUBLIC BODIES ADMINISTRATION SERIOUS ABOUT ENERGY CONSERVATION BUDGET REDUCTIONS EPC IS A GREAT FINANCIAL TOOL DMME SUPPORT

GOVERNOR’S EXECUTIVE ORDER 31 All state agencies should proactively pursue energy efficiency measures, especially Energy Performance Contracting (EPC), to reduce energy consumption. EPC is a budget neutral, cost-effective tool that permits state agencies and publicly-owned facilities to reduce their deferred maintenance backlogs without adding any financial burden to the taxpayer. In addition, EPC is an effective mechanism to finance capital improvements using leveraged energy savings to reduce both energy costs and consumption. For agencies that have already employed EPC, overall energy consumption should be re- evaluated to identify areas for further efficiency improvements. Agencies should utilize the current process, at no cost to the agency, which provides for a general audit to assess whether EPC is appropriate for the agency. This portion of the process is managed by the Department of Mines, Minerals, and Energy (DMME), and all agencies should work with DMME to have a general audit conducted with the goal of implementing an EPC by 2016.
