The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) recently revised and updated Federal On-Site Renewable Power Purchase Agreements, a FEMP training course.

This refreshed training course provides federal energy and facility managers and contracting officers with up-to-date knowledge and best practices for developing an on-site renewable power purchase agreement (PPA) on a federal site and includes current definitions, references, and guidance to help launch or accelerate a PPA project.

Participants will learn how to:

  • Review key considerations concerning state, local, and utility requirements and restrictions
  • Consider the technical and site feasibility for an on-site renewable energy project
  • Establish a multidisciplinary team to successfully implement the PPA
  • Understand key factors in the areas of contract basics, land use, environmental compliance, infrastructure needs, and financial arrangements
  • Understand the request for proposal process, key approvals, and FEMP support and assistance.

After completing a course evaluation and multiple-choice assessment, participants will receive a certificate of completion and be eligible for continuing education units.

FEMP training courses are designed for federal energy and facility managers but are open to all individual. For more information, visit the FEMP Training website.

Courses are hosted in partnership with the National Institute of Building Sciences’ Whole Building Design Guide.
