Welcome

Welcome to the U.S. Army Energy Initiatives Task Force (EITF)! Thank you for your interest in our ongoing mission to power and secure Army communities with renewable energy to better serve and defend our nation.

Our commitment is to employ an enterprise-wide approach to initiate, execute and manage large-scale renewable energy projects on Army installations. This will enhance our nation’s energy security and sustainability, while assisting the Army in meeting its goal of drawing 25 percent of its energy from renewable sources by 2025.

There is work to be done.

To furnish the Army with an additional 2.5 million MWh a year of renewable energy, the EITF seeks innovative and collaborative partnerships with private industry and business to finance, plan and execute a cost-effective portfolio of large-scale renewable energy projects on U.S. Army installations.

We have the land and the energy demand.

But to strengthen our energy security, support Department of Defense energy goals and optimize available resources, we need private-sector know-how, entrepreneurism and participation.

To maximize these renewable energy efforts, the EITF is utilizing third-party financing authorities such as Power Purchase Agreements, Enhanced Use Leasing and Energy Savings Performance Contracts. Our goal is to streamline Army business practices so that private sector investors and industry innovators can do what they do best – design, build and execute the next generation of renewable energy projects to power a willing and loyal customer -- the U.S. Army.

There are many exciting business opportunities to help renew the Army with renewable energy. We at EITF invite you to begin exploring and considering them here.

We look forward to hearing from you.
