2008 Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) Market Report
The 2008 Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) Market Report (PDF 7.9 MB) assesses the market for Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) services as it existed in FY 2008. It discusses federal energy management goal progress in FY 2008, and examines the environment in which agencies implemented energy management projects during the past three years. The report also discusses some recent events that will increase the market for FEMP services, and outlines FEMP's major strategies to address these changes in FY 2009 and beyond. Highlights include:
- During 2008, it became clear that federal agencies were unlikely to meet their current, or future, Federal energy management goals without significant increases in both financial investment and management attention. Agencies have responded to this challenge in a variety of ways, including seeking to increase levels of the services and support received from the Department of Energy's (DOE) Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP).
- A number of federal laws and regulations set energy management requirements for federal agencies spanning energy efficiency, renewable energy, water conservation, and petroleum reduction. Executive Order 13423, the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, and the Energy Policy Act of 2005 each established or expanded one or more of the federal requirements in these areas. More aggressive goals are expected to result from the change in administration, and these new goals will in all likelihood establish federal agency greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting and reduction requirements.
- To successfully accomplish projects, agencies must increase their effective use of available resources including appropriations through normal budget processes, funds provided through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), and private sector financing approaches such as energy savings performance contracts (ESPC), utility energy services contracts (UESC), and power purchase agreements (PPA).
