Performance contracting yields energy savings for Florida agency

摘要

FPL Services, LLC (FPLS), a subsidiary of Florida Power & Light Co., has saved the state of Florida $6.5 million by improving energy efficiency at the state's Agency for People with Disabilities (APD). A performance-contracting model that was implemented as part of the project guaranteed savings with no capital expenditures by the state. As part of the project, FPLS completed an energy-saving renovation of two locations for the APD. The renovations, made to 65 main buildings and other structures, are projected to save APD approximately $400,000 per year for the 16-year term of the contract. Stephen Boley, the APD's acting bureau chief for general services at the time of the project, described the project as a "win-win-win" for the state, the APD, and the residents and staff at the two locations.
