Energy System Group

Scope Of Work

The City of Middletown, New York partnered with Energy Systems Group (ESG), a leading energy services provider, to develop and implement comprehensive energy and infrastructure improvements that will result in millions of dollars in expected savings for the city.

The $12.7 million energy performance contract includes light-emitting diode (LED) lighting upgrades, replacement of pool motors, installation of a solar array at the water plant, weather-proofing buildings and installing shut-off timers on city equipment like copy machines and printers. The contract also includes replacing water meters throughout the city to smart readers that can be read by radio signal. This will allow the city to better detect leaks and collect up-to-date, more detailed data on how much water is being used by customers without having to personally visit every home. City buildings, including the Paramount Theatre, will get more-efficient heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems and new boilers.

The energy conservation measures implemented will reduce the city’s energy costs and water consumption with an anticipated savings of $18.6 million over the 15-year term of the contract.

The energy conservation measures and infrastructure improvements include the following:
Implementation of a new city-wide water meter system which includes automatic leak detection and automated meter reading capabilities
Upgraded interior and exterior lighting in all city-owned buildings, parking lots, and parks 
Upgraded electrical and heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems 
Upgraded boilers 
Weatherization of all city buildings to ensure better insulation of building envelope 
City Hall Building roof replacement 
Replacement of city-wide domestic hot water systems 
Installation of a new solar system at the City Water Plant
