Catalyst Communities Webinar – Fundamentals of Energy Savings Performance Contracting in Michigan

Energy Savings Performance Contracting (ESPC) offers states, localities, public infrastructure, and institutional facilities an opportunity to finance energy efficiency investments by leveraging the energy, water and operational cost savings that projects achieve over time. While ESPC projects have already financed over $50 billion in energy-saving investments, estimates by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory show there could be over $300 billion in additional cost-effective ESPC projects nationally. Facilities such as state and municipal buildings, universities, K-12 schools, and hospitals, as well as highway, street, and parking lot lighting are particularly well suited to these investments. This webinar will gather key stakeholders for ESPC projects throughout Michigan with a particular emphasis on reaching underserved communities, provide an overview of how to apply this financing mechanism in Michigan, and hear from facility managers who have implemented these projects.
