2 RECHARGING THE NATION S FEDERAL ENERGY PROJECTS Reduced budgets and a gridlocked procurement process are leaving many federal energy projects behind, but new and longtime leaders at the Pentagon and other agencies are still trying to make their marks in the final years of this Administration. Key Questions What does it mean for federal energy policy? How does it impact those working to implement projects? How can we break through the barriers to advance energy opportunities? Will the midterm elections have an impact? The National Council for Public-Private Partnerships (NCPPP) and the Association of Defense Communities (ADC) leading nonprofit organizations in the field of energy partnerships are teaming up to co-host The Fifth Annual Federal Energy Workshop & Defense Energy Partnership Forum on September 16 in Washington to address these questions and overall trends in defense energy.
