Eaton Corp.'s announcement earlier this week that it had been certified by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) as an energy service company (ESCO) offered a glimpse into the world of turn-key energy projects for federal facilities owned by the government entities such as the General Service Administration (GSA) and various branches of the military.

Competing for these contracts with Eaton are well-established ESCOs such as Ameresco, ConEd Solutions, Constellation Energy Projects & Services, FPL Energy Services, Honeywell, Johnson Controls, Noresco and Trane. Also after these contracts are electrical players such as Schneider Electric and its ESCO business unit, TAC Americas; Siemens, through its Government Services unit; Facility Solutions Group, the Austin, Texas-based electrical distributor; and EMCOR, the publicly held contracting firm.
