ICF International Awarded Two New EC Contracts for Up To €4.5 Million

The first contract, with a €2 million ceiling over two years, is to advise the Russian Federation government on a range of renewable energy issues, including regulatory and economic incentives and tariff policy. Under the second contract for up to €2.5 million over 30 months, ICF is part of a consortium led by Euroconsult Mott MacDonald that supports the steppe ecosystem restoration and conservation in Ukraine, Russia, and Moldova. The contracts were awarded through the company’s subsidiary, ICF Consulting Limited.

The company also announced the appointment of John Blaney to acting managing director of its London office that oversees the company’s European activities. Mr. Blaney is an energy/environment economist with more than 25 years of experience in environmental policy analysis, air emissions compliance strategies, and electric power market modeling and analysis.

“Our work on this EU-Russia cooperation program is an exciting opportunity for ICF to apply our in-depth expertise and innovative techniques to help shape sound environmental policy and improve the quality of life around the world,” Mr. Blaney said. “We value the commission’s vote of confidence in our ability to support the program in this important work.”

“The European Commission has clearly stated its intention to support Russia and other Newly Independent States in their efforts to expand the use of renewable energy sources, protect biodiversity, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions,” said Alexei Sankovski, Ph.D., an ICF principal in the London office. “These efforts will help reduce local and global atmospheric pollution, improve the national energy security, and increase sustainable land use in steppe, wetland, and forest-steppe ecosystems.”

The project is implemented by ICF International and funded by the European Union. The European Union is made up of 27 Member States who have decided to gradually link together their know-how, resources, and destinies. Together, during a period of enlargement of 50 years, they have built a zone of stability, democracy, and sustainable development whilst maintaining cultural diversity, tolerance, and individual freedoms. The European Union is committed to sharing its achievements and its values with countries and peoples beyond its borders.
