WASHINGTON -- The Army has awarded three Energy Savings Performance  
Contracts with a total value of $61 million, including one that will  
result in the largest renewable energy project executed to date by  
the Army.



These three projects will save the Army 267 billion British thermal  
units, or BTUs, annually and will provide the Army with 8.2-megawatts  
of renewable power capacity.



The White Sands Missile Range project, awarded last December, will  
provide the Army with 4.44-megawatts of installed photovoltaic  
capacity. The $16.8 million contract with Siemens Government  
Technologies will generate more than 10 percent of the installation's  
electrical energy consumption via solar renewable energy by the end  
of 2012, saving 10 million kilowatt hours of electricity and $930,000  
annually.
