and Concentrated Solar 1Q12
Thermal Plant

6. “20/20” Concept
for Renewable Energy
• Hybrid and Phased Approach to Implementation of
Large Scale Renewables
– Initial “20/20” Concept implements 20MW Solar
Photovoltaic and 20MW Natural Gas Turbine generation
– Provides inherent “back up” power for intermittent
renewable energy
– Concept of Operations for this system in tandem operation
alleviates many of the utility scale technical concerns for
interconnection of large scale intermittent renewables
• Implementation Plan over time allows for build up
of systems to incrementally achieve…
– Energy Independence & Security
– Production of as much Renewable Energy as we consume
We can meet the 2015 Goal for Energy Net Zero!

7. Challenges and Approach
• Utility/State • Find Successful Legal and
Contracting Path Forward
Levels of the Army
Regulatory
Teaming at All
Environment
• Army Definition and
• Cost of Approval of the True Cost
Renewable of Net Zero & Renewable
Energy Energy for the Army
• Approval
Process • Consolidated Process for
Hurdles Project Approval to Meet
Mission Goal Timelines
Fort Bliss will strive to push / pull the implementation of renewable energy
and sustainable water and waste strategies to become the premier Net Zero
Installation for the Army
