Basic Order AgreementsAlternative Energy Services Method Bundles Electrical Needs to Reduce CostsU.S. General Services Administration, Pacific Rim Region, 1998

In an effort to fund energy conservation projects, GSA’s Pacific Rim Region initiated an alternative method for providing energy services. The Region signed a Basic Order Agreement (BOA) with the Bonneville Power Administration that encourages the bundling of electrical needs for several Federal agencies in a given locality. By leveraging the energy loads for several agencies in a l ocality through the BOA, those agencies are able to reduce their energy costs. The savings from lower energy costs are then used for other energy conservation projects in the Region.
