USAG-KA energy manager Derek Miller said: “This partnership between USAG-KA and Johnson Controls proves that ESPC projects can be cost-effectively implemented at remote sites and this project is the first step in us leveraging the ESPC process to ensure the resiliency and readiness of USAG-KA.”
The scope of the Phase 1 project includes the design, implementation and long-term operation of an island-wide solar photovoltaic (PV) / lithium-ion battery storage / microgrid control system to cut down the use of diesel by 55%.
New LED systems to be installed at the facility will help reduce existing lighting energy costs by 64%.
Once completed, the project is expected to save more than $2.2m in annual energy consumption over a performance period of 20 years for the USAG-KA.
