FEMP Advanced Metering Announcement

Federal agencies are in the midst of installing electric, natural gas and steam meters to come into compliance with the requirements of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and the Energy Independence and Security Act. Subject to cost effectiveness, all federal buildings must be equipped with advanced electric meters by 2012 and with gas and steam meters by 2016. The Department of Energy’s (DOE) Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP), through the Operations and Maintenance Working Group, is providing this symposium as an opportunity for feds to compare notes, learn from each other and see what technology is available in the marketplace that will fill their needs.
This one-day symposium, targeted to reach federal energy managers and contractors, and advanced metering and associated software and system providers, will consist of two sections. The morning session will consist of presentations by federal agencies highlighting their successful applications of advanced metering, data analysis and diagnostic software. The afternoon session will feature panel discussions by invited metering hardware and software providers highlighting the capabilities of such systems.
The purpose of this educational forum is to provide information and exchange ideas. This is not a pre-bidders conference and the DOE Operations and Maintenance Working Group is not aware of any specific procurement requirements for Advanced Metering Solutions.
The purpose of this announcement is to request applications from Metering Hardware and Software Providers for panel participants for consideration by the FEMP O&M Working Group.
