U.S. Army Selects ACCIONA Solar Power to Develop Its Largest-Ever Renewables Project
1:00p ET October 15, 2009 (Business Wire)

--ACCIONA Solar Power and Clark Energy Group's Joint Project Represents an Investment of Approximately $2 Billion Dollars.

--The Project is Part of a Program Aimed at Improving Energy Efficiency and Energy Security in the U.S. Armed Forces.

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has selected the team of ACCIONA Solar Power and the Clark Energy Group to develop a large-scale solar energy project (the first phase, consisting of 5 sites that total 500 MW) at one of its most iconic installations: the Fort Irwin military complex, located in the Mojave Desert, California. The base is the U.S. Army's largest training ground and also houses NASA's Goldstone Deep Space Communications center. A memorandum of understanding was signed today by the Department of the Army, Fort Irwin and the joint venture created by ACCIONA Solar Power and Clark during a kick-off meeting celebrated at Fort Irwin.

The announcement follows a competitive bid process opened in March by the U.S. Army's Senior Energy Council, a body created in October 2008 to accelerate and oversee a sustainable energy strategy aimed at finding alternative energy sources, obtaining increased energy savings and securing energy supplies for U.S. Army installations, personnel, vehicles and other assets.

A federal mandate requires the U.S. Army to reduce its energy consumption by 30 percent by 2015 (compared to 2003) and to cover 25 percent of its energy needs with renewable energies by 2025.

The Fort Irwin project is part of the Army's "Enhanced Use Leasing" (EUL) program, designed to allow private sector entities "to acquire and leverage value from under-utilized non-excess real estate assets on Army and select Department of Defense Installations."
