Webinar: Structuring a State ESPC Program to Maximize Agency Participation

Description

ESC || Events

State agencies increasingly recognize that a strong Energy Savings Performance Contracting (ESPC) program is essential for addressing aging infrastructure, reducing operating costs, slowing local economies, and meeting energy and sustainability goals of the MUSH market. Yet many state programs face persistent challenges — limited staffing, inconsistent funding, capacity constraints, and shifting availability of federal support.

This session will focus on how to structure or refine a state ESPC program to drive greater agency participation and successful project execution, even in environments where funding and resources fluctuate.

Designed for state energy offices, facility divisions, procurement teams, and related state agencies, this discussion will explore:

* Core elements of an effective state ESPC program structure

* How to streamline processes and reduce staff burden while supporting agencies through project development

* Approaches to maximizing available funding — and what to do when federal or program funds are unpredictable

* Strategies for leveraging external partners, technical assistance, and shared resources

* Practical lessons learned from peer states with mature and high-performing ESPC programs

Attendees will learn directly from peers about how they’ve built resilient, service-oriented state programs that support agencies, simplify pathways to participation, and enable more successful projects over time.
