Department of General Services (DGS) Secretary Curt Topper officially broke ground on a Guaranteed Energy Savings Act, or GESA, project that will improve the energy efficiency of 17 buildings in and around the Capitol Complex and save taxpayers more than $671,000 annually once complete. The $22 million project will have no upfront cost to taxpayers. Secretary Topper was joined by Shayne Homan, Vice President, McClure Company - the Energy Service Company, or ESCO - to kick-off the project."Energy efficiency improvements are one of the most effective and proven ways to reduce energy consumption, increase cost savings and have a positive effect on our environment," Secretary Topper noted. "We have been relentless not only in our efforts to identify opportunities where these projects can make a difference but in taking action to get these projects started and completed."With the significant price increases that are expected within the utility industry in the near future, it is important for us to be proactive in our efforts to lessen the effect rising utility costs will have on our facilities and our bottom line. GESA projects present us with a prime opportunity to achieve that goal."Speakers include:Department of General Services Secretary Curt TopperShayne Homan, Vice President McClure Company
