Partnering With the Federal Energy Management Program

NREL experts help agencies enhance the cybersecurity posture of federal facilities, identify cybersecurity vulnerabilities in distributed energy systems, and develop customized action plans for facilities to improve security controls and practices.

NREL helps agencies ensure that energy savings performance contracts are developed, implemented, and managed consistent with indefinite-delivery and indefinite-quantity contract requirements and verifies they are legally sound and a good deal for the government.

NREL helps agencies overcome procurement challenges for large-scale energy resilience and distributed energy projects and make progress toward meeting federal and agency-specific energy- and water-efficiency goals.

NREL helps agencies conduct comprehensive energy and water evaluations and propose potential solutions to support energy-efficient data centers, efficient and safe laboratories, grid-interactive efficient buildings, and energy and water auditing requirements for federal facilities.

NREL helps agencies meet federal requirements mandating fleet efficiency, including nontraditional energy sources to support fleet operations and resilience.

NREL supports energy and water resilience planning and evaluation, helping agencies build resilient federal infrastructure that can adapt to severe weather and other disruptions, support continuous mission operations, and withstand energy demand in their facilities.

NREL helps FEMP focus on strategic federal agency needs and future-focused planning, considering current events and federal sector needs in designing networking events, training, outreach activities, and digital assets.

NREL helps agencies effectively implement energy-, water-, and cost-saving measures by working in partnership with utilities to facilitate utility energy service contracts in which agencies collaborate with utility companies to identify, develop, and implement energy and water projects with no upfront capital costs.
