The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) intends to issue, on behalf of the Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP), a Federal Agency Call (FAC) entitled “Assisting Federal Facilities with Energy Conservation Technologies (AFFECT) 2020”.
The AFFECT 2020 FAC will provide direct funding to Federal agencies for the development of projects using energy performance contracts. Submitted projects must address one or more of the Areas of Interest identified in the full text of the NOI, and utilize and present a plan for (a) replication across the agencies’ enterprises and/or (b) case study development for replication across applicable U.S. Government sites.
Using the authority provided in 42 U.S.C. §8256(b), funding under the AFFECT 2020 FAC will help Federal agencies advance the energy efficiency, resilience, and security of their operations. The FAC will competitively select agency projects that leverage performance contracting to enhance Federal agency goals at critical sites, as well as address the issue of aging infrastructure and deferred maintenance and repairs.
