The same creative energy that guides our artists, writers and musicians also inspires our innovators, inventors and entrepreneurs.
Energy Performance Contracting is an innovative financing package that uses savings from reduced energy consumption to repay the cost of installing energy conservation measures. A private company, usually a qualified Energy Service Company or ESCO, guarantees a level of energy savings for a specified contract term sufficient to cover all project costs.

The Energy Division, in joint membership with the Energy Services Coalition, serves as an advocate for introducing energy performance contracting agreements (guaranteed energy and cost-savings contracts) as a means to reduce energy consumption and cost for all governmental units in the state. All project costs including financing are covered by the energy and cost savings achieved by the installation of the energy efficiency improvements, such as lighting, HVAC equipment, controls and more.
