DLA Energy launches informative carbon pollution-free electricity webpage
Defense Logistics Agency Energy helped U.S. Army Garrison Fort Hood, Texas, with a power purchase agreement, or PPA, to install wind turbines. The PPA is an arrangement in which a third-party developer installs, owns and operates an energy system on a Department of Defense installation’s property. The installation then purchases the system’s electric output for a predetermined period and allows the installation to receive stable and often low-cost electricity with no upfront cost. The wind turbines have a total capacity of about 50 megawatts offsetting approximately 48% of load from fossil fuels in the first year. Photo Credit: U.S. Army
