ICF International announced this morning that it had received two contracts with Baltimore Gas and Electric (BGE). The contracts, which are both for services to support the utility's energy efficiency programs, are worth more than $50 million.

The first contract is for BGE's Residential and Small Commercial Conservation Program: ICF will guide program design and implementation, as well help with regulatory filings for the Maryland Public Service Commission (PSC).

Under the second contract, ICF will provide similar services for BGE's Large Industrial and Commercial Conservation Program. Implementation for both programs will proceed only with the approval of the PSC.

BGE is the largest gas and electric utility in Maryland, providing power to more than 1.2 million customers. The utility is owned by Constellation Energy. ICF provides a variety of consulting services, including energy, environment and climate change services, to commercial and government clients.

Sudhakar Kesavan, the CEO of ICF, said that the BGE contract is based on ICF's reputation at creating energy efficiency programs. "Winning these BGE contracts demonstrates ICF’s successful track record in not only designing quality energy efficiency programs, but also in effectively implementing these large scale programs," Kesavan said. "Support provided by ICF will help BGE and its customers reduce energy use and the impacts of global climate change and help BGE meet the State’s EmPOWER Maryland goals."
