ESPCs allow agencies to partner with ESCOs to develop and install energy, water conservation, and renewable energy projects at Federally owned facilities. This is financed by the ESCOs and increases energy efficiency and while reducing maintenance costs for federally owned buildings. The purpose is to achieve energy and water cost savings and improve infrastructure through technologies like distributed generation, energy storage, and renewable energy.

According to the DOE, contractors will be responsible for installing energy and water conservation systems, conducting operations and maintenance tasks, and documenting the annual cost savings achieved from the project.
