## Twenty Nine Palms Air Ground Combat Center, USMC

- 7-MW, dual-fuel cogeneration system; inaugurated 2/2003 — energy security a primary driver
- Annual cost savings: $5.8M
- Savings subsidized 1 MW of PV
- 75% efficiency (design target) —twice U.S. grid average
- Exhaust for district hot water and 200-ton chiller
- FEMP support catalyzed efforts, contributed to more efficient design

## How utilities can help

- Remove barriers:
- Exit fees
- Standby power fees
- Interconnection
- Transmission fees
- Consider a new paradigm: does all power have to be from central plants?
