Energy Performance Contracting for Minnesota Local Governments: Final Report

摘要

In May 1985, the State of Minnesota awarded a contract to Public Technology, Inc. to support the state in assisting Minnesota local governments in utilizing alternative financing approaches for energy project implementation. PTI's first task was the preparation of two reports. The first described alternative financing approaches available to local governments, including the public financing alternatives of outright purchase, municipal bonds, and internal resolving loan funds, and the private financing options of traditional loans and grants, leasing, and energy performance contracting. The second report documented energy-related projects and approaches which had been successfully implemented by local governments. Twenty-eight case studies of successful energy projects were described, involving a range of local government functional areas. These areas included buildings, water and wastewater treatment systems, street lighting systems, vehicle fleets, and solid waste disposal systems. The two reports are presented here.
