1 00:00:00,340 --> 00:00:02,500 this project will allow us to achieve 2 00:00:02,500 --> 00:00:06,120 14 days of electric resiliency 3 00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:08,160 for our mission critical facilities 4 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,310 will allow us to reach our net zero 5 00:00:10,310 --> 00:00:12,890 goals by 2022 . Although we're an Army 6 00:00:12,890 --> 00:00:15,057 Reserve installation , we , you know , 7 00:00:15,057 --> 00:00:16,946 we see a lot of activity from the 8 00:00:16,946 --> 00:00:19,440 Active Army , the Navy Special Warfare 9 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:21,810 Group . And uh and it's critical that 10 00:00:21,810 --> 00:00:24,030 we're able to continue to provide this 11 00:00:24,030 --> 00:00:26,510 platform regardless of condition to all 12 00:00:26,510 --> 00:00:28,510 those units that train here . We're 13 00:00:28,510 --> 00:00:30,288 really starting to pick up some 14 00:00:30,288 --> 00:00:32,288 momentum here towards achieving our 15 00:00:32,288 --> 00:00:34,343 goals . And I think that's why we've 16 00:00:34,343 --> 00:00:36,343 been nominated to conduct a virtual 17 00:00:36,343 --> 00:00:38,510 tour with the White House . And I look 18 00:00:38,510 --> 00:00:40,566 forward to highlighting this project 19 00:00:40,566 --> 00:00:42,399 among the many others that we're 20 00:00:42,399 --> 00:00:44,399 currently working on . I think it's 21 00:00:44,399 --> 00:00:46,510 going to be um you know at the tip of 22 00:00:46,510 --> 00:00:48,732 the spear in terms of energy resilience 23 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,096 initiatives that the D . O . D . And 24 00:00:51,096 --> 00:00:53,207 the Department of Army are working to 25 00:00:53,207 --> 00:00:55,373 achieve . So now we start construction 26 00:00:55,373 --> 00:00:57,373 of this innovative fully integrated 27 00:00:57,373 --> 00:00:59,650 micro grid system . So this system is 28 00:00:59,650 --> 00:01:01,761 going to provide contingency electric 29 00:01:01,761 --> 00:01:03,928 power to the installation in the event 30 00:01:03,928 --> 00:01:05,983 of power outages and even persistent 31 00:01:05,983 --> 00:01:09,840 grid instability . Alright , yeah , 32 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:15,110 johnson . Okay . We are 33 00:01:15,110 --> 00:01:17,221 the construction management oversight 34 00:01:17,221 --> 00:01:19,332 for these particular projects . So we 35 00:01:19,332 --> 00:01:21,930 do uh were involved in the design phase , 36 00:01:21,930 --> 00:01:24,097 were involved in the acquisition phase 37 00:01:24,097 --> 00:01:25,763 and then were involved in the 38 00:01:25,763 --> 00:01:27,763 construction phase and we partnered 39 00:01:27,763 --> 00:01:29,874 with not only the $400 garrison , but 40 00:01:29,874 --> 00:01:32,097 also the contractors that will be doing 41 00:01:32,097 --> 00:01:34,152 the project and making sure we get a 42 00:01:34,152 --> 00:01:36,374 safe project , but also quality project 43 00:01:36,374 --> 00:01:36,100 electric Net Zero means that will 44 00:01:36,100 --> 00:01:38,267 produce as much electricity on post in 45 00:01:38,267 --> 00:01:41,930 a year as we will consume . Um critical 46 00:01:41,930 --> 00:01:43,708 mission resilience gives us the 47 00:01:43,708 --> 00:01:45,819 opportunity to operate mission in the 48 00:01:45,819 --> 00:01:48,020 absence of utility power . So if there 49 00:01:48,020 --> 00:01:50,076 was something that was going to shut 50 00:01:50,076 --> 00:01:52,242 the utility down , we would be able to 51 00:01:52,242 --> 00:01:54,353 continue the mission . So right now , 52 00:01:54,353 --> 00:01:56,409 we currently have three megawatts of 53 00:01:56,409 --> 00:01:58,464 solar production , um , which is not 54 00:01:58,464 --> 00:02:00,687 quite half of what we need to achieve . 55 00:02:00,687 --> 00:02:02,742 Net zero or uh , with this project , 56 00:02:02,742 --> 00:02:04,910 we're receiving an additional 3.75 57 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,360 megawatts of solar generation . We're 58 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,850 also going to receive a 25 59 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,510 megawatt , five megawatt hour battery 60 00:02:14,510 --> 00:02:17,520 storage facility , which will allow us 61 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,560 to continue operations overnight when 62 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,727 the sun is not producing electricity . 63 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,790 That's what's going to move us to 64 00:02:24,790 --> 00:02:26,957 critical mission resilience before 200 65 00:02:26,957 --> 00:02:30,370 Liggett is a small installation . So it 66 00:02:30,370 --> 00:02:32,481 gives us the opportunity to implement 67 00:02:32,481 --> 00:02:34,537 this type of a micro grid on a small 68 00:02:34,537 --> 00:02:37,900 scale to determine what the challenges 69 00:02:37,910 --> 00:02:40,021 would be . Once we have those lessons 70 00:02:40,021 --> 00:02:43,120 learned , we can now scale this up For 71 00:02:43,130 --> 00:02:45,408 implementation at larger installations . 72 00:02:45,408 --> 00:02:47,574 This is the culmination of 10 years of 73 00:02:47,574 --> 00:02:50,140 planning um by a bunch of very smart 74 00:02:50,140 --> 00:02:52,196 folks who've been here long before I 75 00:02:52,196 --> 00:02:52,460 ever showed up
