Detrick is one of four posts across the U.S. chosen under a renewable power plan announced last week by the Army Energy Initiatives Task Force designed to make bases more energy independent. Detrick's plans would call for the construction of a system to develop 15 megawatts of renewable power while two other posts, Fort Bliss, Texas, and Fort Irwin, Calif., have been named as spots for 20 megawatt projects, task force spokesman Dave Foster said Tuesday. The Army's Schofield Barracks in Hawaii has also been chosen for a 50 megawatt biofuel project, Foster said.
Current plans call for Detrick to award a contract this fall for construction of the solar panels on about 65 to 75 acres on Area B, said Robert Craig, chief environmental management officer.

Have you ever noticed that most people who put up solar panels do so with other peoples money. That's how they are made too.
What a waste of money.
