On April 14, 2014, the Army announced the development of a
solar array at
Fort Huachuca designed to provide about 25 percent of the annual electricity requirement. The project is a joint effort between the U.S. Army Energy Initiatives Task Force, Fort Huachuca, The General Services Administration, Tucson Electric Power and developer E.ON Climate and Renewables. On February 19, 2014, ReEnergy Holdings LLC was issued a Notice of Intent (NOI) to Award by
Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) for the purchase of up to 28 megawatts (MW) of electricity from a renewable energy
biomass facility at
Fort Drum, New York. The DLA said that the project is capable of supplying 100% of Fort Drum's electricity requirements. Fort Drum provides planning and support for the mobilization and training of almost 80,000 Army troops annually. The EITF in 2013 made 79 contract award announcements for the Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) for Renewable and Alternative Energy Power Production at Department of Defense Installations. The MATOC is a contract vehicle that aims to establish a pool of qualified firms/contractors for
biomass,
solar power,
geothermal and
wind power technologies to compete for individual task order contracts. == See also ==
