GreenGen Secures $3 Billion Contract with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to Modernize Federal Facilities

GreenGen's Historic $3 Billion Partnership with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

In a significant advancement in energy resilience, GreenGen has been selected for a groundbreaking $3 billion program by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). This initiative aims to modernize the energy systems of aging federal facilities, bringing them into alignment with contemporary efficiency standards.

An Innovative Approach to Federal Energy Needs

GreenGen is the only small business among the selected firms tasked with implementing this critical contract through the Engineering and Support Center’s fourth-generation Energy Savings Performance Contract (ESPC IV) Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC). This prestigious designation underscores GreenGen's commitment to driving sustainability and efficiency in federal infrastructure.

Brad Dockser, the CEO of GreenGen, emphasized the crucial role that this contract will play in addressing the urgent modernization needs of thousands of federal buildings. The U.S. government owns over 277,000 facilities, many of which are outdated and inefficient, relying on systems that increase operational costs and are vulnerable to emergencies. Significantly, the GAO reports a staggering $370 billion in deferred maintenance spanning both the Department of Defense and federal civilian agencies, highlighting the critical need for investment in modern infrastructure.

Performance-Based Business Model

The ESPC model empowers federal agencies to fund necessary upgrades by leveraging private investment, paying back project costs through guaranteed energy savings. This structure is particularly beneficial for aging buildings, allowing essential renovations to proceed swiftly without needing traditional budget appropriations or incurring debt. By utilizing this innovative approach, GreenGen will implement modern industrial technologies, focusing on enhancing energy efficiency and building resilience.

Key areas of investment will include lighting upgrades, HVAC improvements, energy generation and storage systems, microgrids, and water efficiency enhancements. These investments not only reduce energy consumption but also ensure that facilities remain operational during crises.

Long-Term Impact and Value Preservation

The implications of this contract extend beyond mere infrastructure upgrades. Enhanced energy reliability and operational efficiency translate into robust returns on investment, particularly crucial for facilities facing the pressures of aging infrastructure. The benefits achieved through these improvements contribute significantly to the asset lifecycle, ensuring that buildings maintain functionality, efficiency, and sustainability over time.

GreenGen's successful bid demonstrates a growing trend towards engaging nimble, performance-focused partners committed to public sector goals. The company boasts a proven track record, having worked effectively with other agencies such as the General Services Administration (GSA), FBI, and the Department of Homeland Security to enhance energy efficiency and reduce costs.
