Abstract
The purpose of this MBA Project is to review existing policy of the Federal Energy Management Program under
the purview of National Renewal Energy Laboratory (NREL) for Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPCs).
This project will assess the ability for the Department of Defense to incorporate emerging technologies in
alternative energy to supplement or replace existing power sources for DoD installations within the current Energy
Savings Performance Contract policy. To do this the project will review previous and existing Energy Savings
Performance Contracts. Further, this project will conduct a cost-benefit analysis of conventional power versus
emerging photovoltaic energy for the Army’s Fort Bliss in El Paso, TX. The project will also analyze energy
demands based on a new force alignment at Fort Bliss in accordance with the recent Base Realignment and
Closure (BRAC) findings. The project will review current Energy Performance Contract Policy and recommend
changes to allow for the use of emerging alternative energy technologies.
