| Partner Profile The United States Air Force energy vision is to reduce electric demand through conservation and efficiency, increase supply through alternative energy sources, and create a culture where Airmen make energy a consideration in everything they do. As a Green Power Partner, the Air Force is aggressively searching for economical and technically feasible renewable energy opportunities on its bases. The Air Force has 34 on-base renewable energy projects in operation, 12 programmed to be constructed and 20 identified for further study. The Air Force also supports the development of renewable generation nationwide by purchasing renewable power. In 2015, renewable energy is expected to make up more than 10 percent of all electricity used by the Air Force. Examples of Air Force renewable energy projects include: 14.2 MW photovoltaic solar array at Nellis AFB, Nevada; 388 kW photovoltaic thin-film integrated membrane roof on the base exchange at Luke AFB, Arizona; 2.3 MW landfill gas generator at Hill AFB, Utah; 3.32 MW wind generation at F.E. Warren AFB, Wyoming; 400 kW roof photovoltaic system at Los Angeles AFB, California; 660 kW photovoltaic at Fresno ANG, California; 500 kW photovoltaic at Toledo ANG base, Ohio; and a 250 kW wind generator at Tin City LRRS, Arkansas. | |
