Pepco Energy Services, Inc., a subsidiary of Pepco Holdings, Inc. (PHI)
and a national leader in energy savings performance contracting,
announced that it has been awarded an $80.4 million Energy Savings
Performance Contract (ESPC) task order by the United States Navy at
Naval Station Great Lakes (NSGL). The task order, awarded under the
United States Department of Energy (DOE) ESPC Indefinite Delivery
Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, includes a $42.4 million investment
in new energy efficiency improvements and renewable energy systems. Upon
completion of construction, the project will generate approximately $4
million per year in guaranteed energy savings and $79.9 million during
the 16.5-year performance period of the task order. Construction is
expected to be completed over a two-year period during which time the
project will provide another $1.8 million in guaranteed savings to the
Navy.
The energy conservation measures include new LED technology, water
conservation, building envelope improvements, 3,000 tons of new cooling
capacity, 2.7 MW in solar hybrid systems, new HVAC systems, and
retro-commissioning of HVAC systems, among others. Work at NSGL will be
performed in 60 buildings as well as at the landfill and on the roadway
lighting systems. After construction is completed, Pepco Energy Services
will provide ongoing maintenance, continuous commissioning, and
measurement and verification services over the task order performance
period.
“The U.S. Department of Energy appreciates the strong leadership and
commitment of federal agencies to increase the use of energy efficiency
and renewable energy that will help meet energy-related goals in support
of their critical missions,” said Dr. Tim Unruh, DOE’s Federal Energy
Program Management Director.
“This collaborative effort between the Navy and Pepco Energy will
generate substantial operational, economic and environmental benefits
for the Navy at NSGL for years to come. DOE’s ESPC program is an
invaluable tool and resource for the federal government and DOD to meet
their energy and infrastructure improvement needs in today’s
budget-challenged environment,” said John Huffman, president and CEO of
Pepco Energy Services.
This partnership between the Navy and Pepco Energy Services using the
DOE ESPC IDIQ contract will make an important contribution to the
President’s $4 Billion Performance Contracting Challenge and result in
improvement in energy efficiency, GHG reduction, job creation and other
benefits. The project is expected to reduce energy usage at NSGL by
146,500 equivalent MMBtu per year. This is comparable to removing 1,600
cars from the road or planting 2,200 acres of trees.
