The department of energy's federal energy management program works with its stakeholders to enable federal agencies to meet energy-related goals, identify affordable solutions, facilitate public-private partnerships, and provide energy leadership to the country by identifying and leveraging government best practices. This assisting federal facilities with energy conservation technologies (AFFECT) award funding will support an environmental assessment for an energy savings performance contract (ESPC) energy sales agreement (ESA) and an analysis to develop actionable project information at the department's domestic facilities with a particular emphasis on the U.S. Department of state's (DOS) foreign service institute (FSI), a critical facility for training department employees worldwide. The funding will be utilized to conduct technical assistance, planning analysis, and market exploration for 25 facilities, including FSI, aiming to install ground-mounted and rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) systems with battery storage. The expected outcomes include issuing requests for proposals for energy conservation measures, prioritizing the FSI facility to set an example for the entire state department.
