Develop
In this section, the State Energy Office will develop key forms and documents to establish the program and its support and technical assistance functions. This section includes documents that other State Energy Offices have created to meet technical assistance needs for their own ESPC programs.
State Energy Offices could consider developing ESPC guides or manuals that describe (within each state’s own context) what ESPCs are; their financing; the contracting process and contracting best practices for risk mitigation; management and monitoring of projects; including project commissioning and M&V, and other pertinent matters, as well as providing appropriate documents and references to help agencies and jurisdictions to develop, procure, manage, monitor, and complete effective ESPC projects.
