Maryland-based Lockheed Martin, an implementer of energy efficiency programs for utility customers, has bagged a three-year contract from Pepco Holdings, to implement energy efficiency and conservation programs and services for its Pepco non-residential customers in the District of Columbia.
The contract, also known as “demand side management,” is a part of Pepco’s plan to empower customers to manage and reduce their energy usage and costs while protecting the environment. The programs are scheduled to run until 2011 and include a budget of $12.7m.
The company, under the contract, would manage various programs to encourage Pepco’s commercial, governmental and institutional customers to identify and implement energy saving opportunities related to building performance.
The Prescriptive Rebate Program, Custom Incentive Program, HVAC Efficiency Program, and Building Commissioning and Operations & Maintenance Program would be designed to encourage the use of energy efficient products and design practices during new construction, renovations, remodels, and equipment replacement events, the company noted.
These programs are expected to encourage electrical, mechanical, and lighting systems improvements, and employ practices for building commissioning, as well as improving building operation and maintenance practices for Pepco’s customers.
Thomas Graham, president of Pepco Region, said: “Pepco is looking forward to working with Lockheed Martin to promote the value of purchasing energy efficient products to our customers with an eye toward making program participation as simple as possible for consumers.”
The company supports its clients in addressing the nation’s energy and climate challenges in the areas of energy efficiency and management, alternative power generation, and climate monitoring. Lockheed Martin provides energy solutions to the government and regulated industry, including the Department of Energy, Environmental Protection Agency, state and regional energy organizations, utilities and businesses.
Lockheed Martin implements energy efficiency programs for utility customers, which include the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), AmerenUE (Missouri), Energy Trust of Oregon, Pacific Gas & Electric, Southern California Edison and several other utilities throughout the US.
