Federal Performance Contracting Delivers Results
Saving Energy. Saving Money. Creating Jobs.
The Federal Performance Contracting Coalition (FPCC) advocates for greater use of Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPCs) – a proven mechanism that enables federal agencies to reduce energy costs, modernize aging facilities, strengthen resilience, and address deferred maintenance through privately financed infrastructure and efficiency improvements that are repaid through guaranteed energy savings.
Through ESPCs, private-sector Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) finance and install efficiency upgrades and guarantee the resulting energy savings, allowing agencies to improve facilities without requiring upfront appropriations. Because payments are tied to verified energy savings, ESPCs offer a performance-based, low-risk pathway to modernizing federal facilities.
The FPCC is focused on accelerating the pace of federal performance contracting, simplifying approval requirements, and increasing the number of projects delivered across the federal government.
Who We Are
Since 1996, the Federal Performance Contracting Coalition (FPCC) has been the leading voice of the federal Energy Savings Performance Contract (ESPC) industry.
Our members are Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) responsible for more than 90% of federal ESPC projects, bringing decades of experience delivering energy, infrastructure, and resilience improvements across the federal government.
FPCC is focused on ensuring “more, faster, bigger, and better” energy performance contracting projects in the federal marketplace.
FPCC Leadership
What We Do
FPCC works to expand the use of federal performance contracting by removing barriers, streamlining processes, and advancing policies that enable more projects to be delivered faster and at greater scale.
Through advocacy and stakeholder engagement, we help ensure ESPCs remain an effective tool to improve government facilities, strengthen mission readiness, and save taxpayer dollars.
How ESPCs Work
Through Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPCs) and Utility Energy Service Contracts (UESCs), private-sector Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) finance and install energy-efficient equipment and infrastructure upgrades in federal facilities, helping agencies reduce energy and operating costs while addressing deferred maintenance needs and improving resilience.
The ESPC model aligns public and private interests by requiring the ESCO to guarantee future energy savings. Those savings fund the cost of the upgrades, while any additional savings are retained by the government. Because payments to the ESCO are contingent upon achieving verified performance, ESPCs offer a fiscally responsible, results-driven solution to modernize federal facilities.
