Eight DOD sites are receiving grants to support energy resilience programs, according to a DOD news story. The grants, totaling more than $55 million, are part of an interagency initiative to make federal facilities more energy efficient.
One site is the Pentagon, which will install solar panels and undertake other improvements.
The other sites are:
- Army Engineering and Support Center, Huntsville, Alabama
- Air Force Office of Energy Assurance, Indian Springs, Nevada
- Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, South Carolina
- Commander, Navy Region Northwest, Oak Harbor, Washington
- Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Southeast, Kings Bay, Georgia

“We have a moral obligation to the people that defend our nation, to their families and to the American people to provide modern and efficient facilities,” Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks said.
