FEMP Assistance
 Each year, FEMP helps agencies to implement successful energy and water saving projects at their facilities. |
FEMP can provide expert, unbiased technical assistance to any federal agency interested in developing a DER or CHP project. Specific assistance can include the following:
- Screen for DER project opportunities, including free combined heat and power screenings
- Conduct site surveys and feasibility studies
- Collect baseline data
- Provide support for addressing policy and regulatory constraints—siting and permitting, grid interconnection requirements, exit fees, backup charges
- Review and verify design, including component matching and sizing verification
- Develop procurement specifications
- Evaluate technical/price proposal
- Take performance measurements
- Monitor existing systems.
If agencies need assistance with project financing, FEMP will help you identify appropriate partners (energy services companies or utilities) and can assist in navigating the process.
To access these services, contact your DOE Regional Office FEMP representative. FEMP can often provide technical assistance and support to agencies at no charge. When FEMP funds are limited and agencies have funding available, FEMP can cost share to provide that same expert, unbiased support. Please contact us with any questions.
Call for Projects
Periodically, FEMP offers limited funding to provide technical assistance for federal energy and water efficiency projects. DER and CHP projects can also request assistance through this Call for Projects. See the Project Assistance Web page for more information.
Technology Demonstration
FEMP supports a limited number of technology demonstrations to provide independent performance data to Federal decision-makers and support timely Federal adoption of energy saving and environmentally beneficial technologies.
Education and Outreach
FEMP offers a variety of publications, training, and workshops to assist federal energy managers in meeting their energy technology and management goals.
