Pepco Holdings, Inc., has signed a three-year contract with Lockheed Martin to implement energy efficiency and conservation programs and services for its Pepco non-residential customers in the District of Columbia. The programs are scheduled to run until 2011 and include a budget of $12.7 million.

Under the contract, Lockheed Martin will manage several programs to encourage Pepco’s commercial, governmental and institutional customers to identify and implement energy saving opportunities related to building performance.

The programs will encourage electrical, mechanical, and lighting systems improvements, and employ best practices for building commissioning, as well as improving building operation and maintenance practices for Pepco’s customers.

Thomas Graham, President, Pepco Region said, “These programs support President Barack Obama’s vision for a new green energy economy that will transform the way we use energy.”
