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
