Fort Riley Adds Solar Arrays
U.S. Army Garrison Fort Riley announced the completion of Phase III of a solar energy project.
This latest phase consisted of two solar PV arrays, both of which finished interconnection in December and provide rate stabilization and energy security to Fort Riley housing communities in Kansas. The program offsets nearly 40% of annual electricity consumed by the housing community.
The project supports the DOD’s goal to provide 100% of the energy load required to sustain the critical mission of each U.S. military installation by the end of fiscal year 2030.
The solar project was conducted by Corvias, an energy and infrastructure solutions provider, in collaboration with Sunstone Energy Development and City, Light & Power.
“This work continues to ensure a reliable and secure supply of energy to on-post housing and the surrounding area,” said Jim Champagne, Corvias Senior Vice President of Asset Management at Fort Riley, in a statement. “Along with our partners, Corvias continues to implement strategies to mitigate vulnerabilities and potential disruptions that may affect the readiness of service members and their families.”
Over the past 10 years, Sunstone Energy Development, a joint venture between Corvias Solar Solutions and Onyx Renewables, has provided renewable energy solutions across the Corvias Army housing portfolio.
The newly completed solar arrays add to two previously completed rooftop phases for the Corvias-led solar program at Fort Riley, which is already one of the largest in the state of Kansas.
