U.S. Army plans to buy $7 billion of advanced energy

Forbes // Aug 13, 2012

The Army recently began accepting bids for installations of renewable energy for Army bases and facilities. This initiative is part of the Department of Defense plan to become a "net zero" electricity consumer. Forbes reports:

The Army said projects that generate fewer than 4 megawatts would be set aside for small businesses. It will also consider giving preference to small businesses for installations that generate between 4 megawatts and 12 megawatts of electricity but would accept unrestricted bids for projects greater than 12 megawatts.
