Will the army build a microgrid?

Feb. 2022: Army will build a microgrid at its 130 bases worldwide by 2035. “The effects of climate change have taken a toll on supply chains, damaged our infrastructure, and increased risks to Army soldiers and families due to natural disasters and extreme weather,” said Army Secretary Christine Wormuth.

Do US bases need a microgrid?

“Undoubtedly, U.S. overseas bases are in a situation where they are predominantly dependent on host-nation and local energy supplies,” Olsen wrote. “Diversifying energy sources and moving toward a localized, U.S.-run energy source—a microgrid—would lessen this vulnerability and increase overall reliability and resiliency.”

What is a microgrid and how does it work?

A microgrid, he explained, is a localized group of electricity generators that can operate independently of the host nation's electrical grid. Several features of microgrids make them more resilient to disruption than a group of backup generators. The first is a storage system: batteries that allow bases to retain energy.
