Army awarded three Energy Savings Performance Contracts in December totaling $61 million, including a contract that will result in the largest renewable energy project put into place by the U.S. Army. Together, the three projects will save the Army a total of 267 billion BTUs annually and provide the Army with 8.2 megawatts of renewable power capacity. At Fort Carson, Colo., the Army partnered with a local energy provider to build a photovoltaic solar array on top of a closed landfill.

SEIA - Solar Energy Industries Association. U.S. Solar Grows 140% in Third Quarter, Led by Utility Projects. U.S. developers installed more solar panels in the third quarter than in all of 2009 as utility-scale projects drove up demand.
Developers added 449.2 megawatts of solar-generating capacity in the quarter, up 140 percent from 187.3 megawatts in the same quarter last year, according to the U.S. Solar Market Insight report released today by Solar Energy Industries Association and GTM Research. Utility-scale projects accounted for more than 200 megawatts in the third quarter, the largest market segment. That trend will likely continue in the current quarter as power plants that have been in development for years finally begin construction and start to produce power, Shayle Kann, GTM’s managing director of solar analysis said in an interview yesterday. “There has always been a big pipeline of utility-scale projects that take a while to get constructed,” Kann said in an interview.
Non-residential solar installations, including commercial and government projects, fell 24 percent.

Why Solar? The benefits of deriving electricity from solar energy are immense, with households able to reduce carbon emissions whilst saving on fuel bills. The introduction of the Feed-in Tariff Scheme (FITs) has provided a further incentive for homes in the UK, which can now generate money by feeding solar electricity back to the National Grid.
