The Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy awarded a $2,000,000 Project Grant under the Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Information Dissemination, Outreach, Training and Technical Analysis/Assistance program (CFDA 81.117) to the National Archives and Records Administration. The funding will support an Energy Savings Performance Contract (ESPC) project to install 200 kWAC of rooftop solar PV, electric vehicle (EV) chargers, and a new 925-ton variable-speed chiller at the Archives I (Washington, DC) and Archives II (College Park, MD) facilities. This comprehensive package of energy efficiency and renewable energy improvements is expected to reduce energy consumption by over 34% and lower carbon emissions by 44% or 7,527,316 kg of CO2e per year across the in-scope facilities. The project is scheduled for completion by October 31, 2025.
