Hybrid Approach to Energy Conservation Measures Using ESPC ENABLE

NOTE: On March 12, 2025, GSA published an Advanced Notice for MAS Refresh 25 and Upcoming Mass Modification detailing the removal of ESPC ENABLE. As a result, existing projects may be impacted, and the information below may no longer be completely accurate. Engage your Federal Project Executive (FPE) to learn ways FEMP can assist you.

The Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) supports agencies that exploring a "hybrid approach" to Energy Savings Performance Contract (ESPC) ENABLE and non-ESPC ENABLE General Services Administration Supply Schedule SIN 33451284 energy conservation measures (ECMs) upon request.

Conditions

  • ECMs fall under same award; no need for different funding.
     
  • Agency and energy service company (ESCO) must come to agreement about how the ESCO will calculate guaranteed savings outside of the Investment Grade Audit (IGA) Tool for non-ESPC ENABLE ECMs. The ESCO must also propose an measurement and verification (M&V) methodology for non-ENABLE ECMs.
     
  • Notice of opportunity should state that the ESCO must demonstrate the capability to do this for the agency’s particular ECMs.
     
  • Agency and FEMP ESPC ENABLE team will review ESCO savings and cost estimates and M&V plans.
     
  • FEMP cannot provide the same level of confidence for non-ESPC ENABLE ECM savings as for ECMs that are included in the IGA Tool.
     
  • IGA Tool is being expanded to address boilers, chillers, and motors based on high agency interest.
