Greening the Fleet: Navy Shore Installation Renewable Energy Strategies, Methods, and Opportunities

Abstract

The Navys recently adopted strategies and projects to produce renewable energy on its shore installations meet or exceed executive and legislative requirements, are strategically important, and the economic benefits provided by their creative financing structures and partnerships with private businesses result in attractive savings and returns on investment. Moreover, while Navy leadership stresses large scale (>1MW) renewable power generation projects to gain efficiencies in command and control efforts for contract management, opportunities should be capitalized upon to standardize and institutionalize the energy ethos promoted by the Navys installation renewable energy policies.
