The Secretary of a military department may carry out a pilot program under which the Secretary will enter into energy savings performance contracts under the authority of section 801 of the National Energy Conservation Policy Act ( 42 U.S.C. 8287 ) for the purpose of achieving direct energy savings and secondary savings in mobile assets of the Armed Forces under the jurisdiction of the Secretary and other nonbuilding applications of the military department. Not later than two years after entering into the first energy savings performance contract under the pilot program, the Secretary of the military department concerned shall submit to Congress a report describing the implementation of the pilot program, including the number of energy savings performance contracts executed, the types of mobile assets and other nonbuilding applications covered, and the direct energy savings and secondary savings achieved.
In this section: The terms mobile asset and nonbuilding application mean— any class of vehicles, devices, or equipment that— is transportable under the power of the applicable vehicle, device, or equipment by land, sea, or air; and consumes energy from any fuel source for the purpose of— that transportation; or maintaining a controlled environment within the vehicle, device, or equipment; and any federally owned equipment used to generate electricity or transport water. The term secondary savings means additional energy or cost savings that are a direct consequence of the energy savings that result from the energy efficiency improvements that were financed and implemented pursuant to an energy savings performance contract.
The term includes— energy and cost savings that result from a reduction in the need for fuel delivery and logistical support; personnel cost savings and environmental benefits; and in the case of electric generation equipment, the benefits of increased efficiency in the production of electricity, including revenues received by the Federal Government from the sale of electricity from the production. The authority to enter into an energy savings performance contract under the pilot program terminates September 30, 2041.
