On April 5, the U.S.
Department of Defense announced that the largest renewable energy project in
U.S. military history is expected to begin soon at Fort Bliss, Texas. Once operational, the project will contribute
to Fort Bliss’ strategic objective of achieving energy self-sufficiency and the
Army’s broader goal of using 25 percent renewable energy by 2015.
The Fort Bliss project has received the green light from the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers. El Paso Electric will construct the 20 megawatt solar
farm, which will power all of the division headquarters and the eastern sector
of the base.
