EITF Project Hits Important Milestone

PENTAGON, Washington DC (Nov. 22, 2013) - The Defense Logistics  
Agency Energy, working with the Army Energy Initiatives Task Force  
(EITF), issued a Notice of Intent to Award letter to Ameresco Inc.,  
for an 18.6 megawatt solar photovoltaic (PV) facility at Fort  
Detrick, Maryland today.

The Notice of Intent to Award does not constitute a formal contract  
award, although it is considered a major milestone that brings the  
Fort Detrick project closer to contract award and groundbreaking.  
Before contract award, the Army and Ameresco must accomplish  
additional actions.

"This is a major milestone for the EITF," said John Lushetsky, EITF  
Executive Director. "It brings us one step closer to having shovels  
in the ground at Fort Detrick and one step closer to reaching Army  
renewable energy goals."
