First Guaranteed Energy Savings Agreement in Pennsylvania
STATE CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTE DALLAS, PA
The State Correctional Institute (SCI) Dallas was the first corrections facility in Pennsylvania under the new Guaranteed Energy Savings Agreement (GESA) program. Their outdated infrastructure required significant upgrades, high energy consumption led to increased operational costs, and safety concerns necessitated enhanced measures. Additionally, budget constraints made it essential to identify cost-effective solutions. At the same time, the logistical complexities of extensive upgrades in a correctional facility posed challenges in maintaining ongoing operations and ensuring security throughout the process.
