U.S. Department of Defense recently launched the largest solar project in history, Fort Irwin solar enhanced use lease (EUL) project selected U.S. Clark Real Estate Capital (Clark Realty Capital)'s Clark Energy Group (Clark Energy Group). Developed jointly with the group of this project is the Spanish Asch Asch Ona Ona Group's solar energy company.
The choice Clark - Asch Ona consortium as a developer was decided by the U.S. Army Engineering Division, Baltimore District, U.S. military base at Fort Irwin cooperation with enhanced use lease (EUL) projects and jointly made by the U.S. Army.
Clarke Energy Group General Manager Francis Cohen said: "We have cooperation with the military will use this abundant, clean, renewable energy to change the base at Fort Irwin's energy security situation. Development project at Fort Irwin Solar grid tie power inverter EUL is far-sighted, This initiative shows that the military in promoting economic growth, but also began to focus on environmental protection, we fully agree with this idea, and the military selected Clark Energy Group is proud to participate in this important project. "
Fort Irwin in California's Mojave Desert. Here is the U.S. military's first heavy-duty mobile combat training center, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's "stone" contact the General Department of outer space where the national training center, which is primarily responsible for tracking and communication space missions.
Fort Irwin Solar EUL pilot project is funded by the U.S. Army Senior Energy Council, launched at the initiative of the Secretary-General. The Council's mission is to promote energy security and military coordination and policy-making, by taking measures to protect and rational use of energy, while encouraging all companies in the U.S. military on land production of alternative energy sources.
Army Senior Energy Executive Director Jerry Hansen said: "The military has been actively looking for opportunities, such as this project is the use of renewable energy as a substitute for conventional energy sources. Meanwhile, we also improve our energy security attitude towards the problem, working closely with other government agencies and relevant private partnership between. "
It is reported that the proposed development will eventually build capacity of over 500 megawatts of solar power plants in the Fort Irwin area with an annual output of renewable electricity 1250 kwh. Taking into account regional characteristics, objective constraints, the existing available resources, current and future technologies, cost, access to transmission lines as well as the time spent and the approved projects in various stages of construction of the integration process, Clark - Asch Ona consortium plans for the phased implementation of the Fort Irwin Solar http://www.sungoldpower.co.uk/ EUL items. And will take a variety of technical methods to improve its power generation capacity to 1,000 MW. The Clark Group and Asch ona company's proposed building program within the industry not only highlights the concentrating photovoltaic solar technology also highlights the poly thermal solar technology.
Base commander of the garrison at Fort Irwin, Colonel Jim Qifulier said: "The Fort Irwin in the Department of Defense approved hereinafter Clark Group and Asch Ona companies, to carry out this groundbreaking project, is proud to present the proposed construction solar technology power plants are the largest U.S. Department of Defense in solar power projects, its construction shows that with the military base at Fort Irwin, have pledged to integrate environmental management into all levels of the operation.
