Using the 500MW of installed solar power, the completed project is expected to yield up to 1,250GW of renewable energy per year, which will provide sufficient electricity for Fort Irwin facilities.
The Fort Irwin solar project is part of a test project for the Secretary of the Army’s Senior Energy Council that was formed to secure new means for sustainable energy resources for the US Army.
The US Army Corp’s Enhanced Use Leasing programme, which is helping the army for the solar energy facility, has commissioned the project.
