“I support the use of Energy Savings Performance Contracts
where appropriate, and I am working to re-authorize the
use of ESPCs by all federal agencies as Congress finishes
its work on the energy bill,” said House Government
Reform Committee chairman Tom Davis, R-Va.
He said the GAO report shows that ESPCs can be an
effective tool in improving efficiency and saving money.
However, Davis said agencies need to provide Congress
with comprehensive and consistent data to better
understand how well these contracts are working.
The Energy Policy Act of 2005 is currently undergoing
review by the Senate and House.
