The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has pre-qualified a four-company team led by TransGen Energy of Rockville, Md., to bid for solar projects at U.S. military installations throughout the United States and its territories.
The TransGen Energy team was one of 38 entities recently authorized to pursue solar power generation Task Orders under a Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC).
TransGen Energy, a leading provider of petroleum, natural gas, and other energy-related products and services and a registered Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business, is serving as prime contractor for the TransGen Solar Team. The team will deliver solar projects under power purchase agreements with the U.S. Department of Defense.
Another team member is ConEdison Solutions, one of the country’s largest energy services companies. The Valhalla, N.Y.-based firm will oversee and operate each installed solar facility.
The third partner, Quanta Solar Solutions Distributed Generation of Denver (No. 5 of Solar Power World’s 2013 Top Contractors list), is an installer of distributed generation solar PV projects across the country. Quanta Solar will install the awarded solar sites.
Finally, PS&S Global – a Warren, N.J.-based Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business company that develops and manages projects involving alternative and renewable energy, energy efficiency, site remediation, and pre-fabricated buildings – will engineer and develop the projects.
In conjunction with the Army Energy Initiatives Task Force, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers had first conducted a MATOC selection process in 2012 for various renewable projects with a heavy focus on solar power generation. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Huntsville Center will be responsible for issuing Task Orders for the development and implementation of these solar power generation assets to be deployed at designated U.S. Military Installations. Once developed, these assets will provide power under Power Purchase Agreements with the Department of Defense for up to 30 years.
