The ability to leverage third-party financing to upgrade aging infrastructure and reduce costs is a unique advantage of Utility Energy Service Contracts (UESCs) and a critical cost element to understand when managing a project. This webinar will include an overview of essential financing concepts and strategies followed by a financier panel and audience Q&A session. Topics addressed will include types of costs typically financed in a UESC, factors that influence interest rates, the process and roles and responsibilities for obtaining financing, and strategies to help federal agencies obtain optimal financing terms. The panel will be made up of a diverse group of financiers with extensive UESC lending experience. They will be available to answer live questions during the webinar.
