The Department of Energy's Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP), which works to reduce the cost and environmental impact of the federal government, recently released its state-by-state assessment of current energy management programs. The report details state energy management programs, including:
• Public-purpose-funded energy efficiency programs, which are administered either by utilities, state agencies or other third parties. These programs generally help fund conservation, energy efficiency, and renewable energy programs.
• Utility energy efficiency programs, which are administered by local utilities to help improve infrastructure through financial, technological, and operational solutions that meet specific criteria.
• Load management/demand response options, which provide incentives to curtail demand and reduce load during peak periods in response to system reliability or market conditions.
• Distributed energy resource options, which include programs that provide incentives for renewable distributed generation.
• Energy efficiency programs sponsored by the state government, which generally include research, development, and demonstration programs such as those offered by California's Public Interest Energy Research (PIER) program.
• Any additional opportunities, including area-wide contracts with GSA and, by extension, all other federal agencies.
