(c) "Performance efficiency agreement" means an agreement entered into by a state agency whereby the state agency implements one or more energy efficiency measures and finances the costs associated with implementation of performance efficiency measures using the stream of expected savings in costs resulting from implementation of the performance efficiency measures as a funding source for repayment.
