ESPC ESA Case Study: Energy Affordability at the Drug Enforcement Administration

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) El Paso Intelligence Center (EPIC), located on Fort Bliss in El Paso, TX, installed 2.5 MW DC of photovoltaics (PV). This project was an energy sales agreement energy conservation measure (ESA ECM) using the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) energy savings performance contract (ESPC) ENABLE contract vehicle. The project represents an economical clean-energy solution that provides excellent construction and other trades-related jobs, and provides information that will help future ESPC ESA projects provide cost savings to the government.
