Mondre Energy Selected by Upper Darby Township for Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy Development

PHILADELPHIA, May 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Mondre Energy, Inc. (MEI), a leading energy strategies firm based in Philadelphia, has been selected by Upper Darby Township to assist with planning and implementation of energy efficiency and conservation strategies for the Township.  

MEI's work for the Township will include the establishment of energy conservation goals; performing baseline studies of Township energy use, implementing outreach to the community and neighboring municipalities, and working to identify potential funding sources for ongoing energy efficiency investments.  The Township's energy planning efforts are being funded by a federal Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant.

"During the competitive selection process, MEI's proposal demonstrated that the firm is the most qualified and experienced to assist the Township with reducing energy costs and improving the environment," said Upper Darby Mayor Thomas Micozzie.  "Both of these factors reinforce the Township's role in serving the residents of Upper Darby."

"Energy costs are a major line item in municipal budgets and a number of factors, such as the coming removal of PECO rate caps in 2011, will only add to long-term cost uncertainty," said Judith L. Mondre, founder and president of Mondre Energy.  "Forward-thinking municipalities like Upper Darby are being proactive in addressing the need for greater energy efficiency.  Not only can this offset Township costs, but it can have a significantly positive impact on the environment."

Mondre Energy has extensive experience serving municipal and government clients in areas including energy efficiency, cost reduction, and energy procurement.  Conservation strategies often focus on lighting, heating and cooling, and fleet management.  "We are looking forward to working with Township staff and residents in helping them identify, understand, and implement opportunities to use energy more efficiently," Mondre said.

MEI provides energy conservation and cost-control strategies for commercial, industrial, educational, government, and non-profit organizations. MEI is a woman-owned business bringing together an experienced and highly skilled team of experts in data analysis, engineering, information systems and technology, law, regulation, communications, and management. MEI clients have saved hundreds of millions of dollars in energy costs through strategies including energy audits, procurement, utility management, building design and construction efficiencies, and the smart implementation of alternative and renewable energy sources.
