The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers needs a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business to build a microgrid system at the Anniston Army Depot in Alabama.
Key Details
- What exactly do they need? The microgrid system at the Anniston Army Depot will have full islanding capability energy resiliency by providing an onsite, automated energy control/generation storage management system. It will integrate the new and existing generation assets with the Nichols, Demil, and Eulaton 46kV/12.47kV substations to enable islanding for all critical loads. During a grid outage, the automated switching and microgrid controls will enable direct routing of electricity generated by the onsite assets to mission critical loads and loadshedding of large blocks of non-critical loads.
- What's the contract structure and timeline? The contract will be a firm-fixed-price contract with a duration of 952 calendar days. The notice doesn't say when the expected start date is.
