ReEnergy Black River to provide power to Fort Drum

摘要

Renewable energy producer ReEnergy Black River has been awarded a 20-year contract by the US Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) to supply renewable energy to the Fort Drum army base in New York. This contract is the largest renewable energy project in the history of the US Army. The federal government is increasing its demand for long-term renewable energy as a result of renewable goals established in the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. Additionally, the Army has established a goal to achieve 1GW of renewable energy by 2025.
