Government

We can customize a solution to meet your reliability, sustainability and fiscal goals.

Federal and municipal government agencies—whether courthouses, government office buildings, or military facilities—need trusted, experienced energy partners who understand their processes, guidelines, and strict regulations. With our experience in this sphere and reliable energy solutions, these organizations can focus on their mission-critical operations and upholding their fiduciary responsibilities, while also safeguarding the environment.

How Vicinity Can Help

Vicinity knows how important budget utilization is when working in government. Vicinity helps government agencies balance budgets through our energy solutions. The efficiency gains from outsourcing (i.e. utility systems operations, facilities management or procuring district energy) to third-party providers present opportunities to lower long-term energy and operating costs, while also freeing up budget resources. Additionally, it’s extremely important for government entities to leverage sustainable products and services to help reduce carbon impacts to our communities. That’s why we proactively invest in developing our district networks in our communities to enable better energy usage and reduce environmental impacts. With Vicinity, you get:

  • Stellar reliability to support mission-critical work
  • Reduced carbon footprint that supports government efforts to protect the health of our local ecosystems
  • A team well versed in navigating the guidelines, regulations and restrictions to working with federal and municipal government agencies
  • Budget conscious energy solutions that help reduce long-term costs
