SOLUTIONS SHOWCASE SESSION:

Title: Leveraging Public-Private Partnerships (P3s) for Climate Solutions Now Act Compliance

Description: BEPS reporting is underway for buildings over 35,000 square feet. Local governments are struggling to identify ways to meet the stringent requirements of a 60% baseline reduction by 2031, and achieve net-zero status for those buildings by 2040. The penalties for noncompliance are high, and the uncertainty of future federal funding for energy-efficient and renewable technologies strengthens the business case for public-private partnerships (P3s). Now is the time to focus on strategic opportunities to fund these decarbonization goals without relying on traditional capital improvement plans and subsidies. From Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPCs) and Energy as a Service (EaaS), to Charging as a Service (CaaS), emerging trends suggest that more communities will utilize these proven alternative financing vehicles in 2025 and beyond. Attend this session to find out how Schneider Electric, the #1 most sustainable company in the world, has helped Counties across Maryland to implement P3s to create more efficient infrastructure, drive revenue and new growth opportunities to boost economic development, and build a more sustainable and resilient community to attract new businesses and residents.
