Dive Summary:

• The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) is rolling out five renewable energy projects that will connect the Army to robust geothermal power.
• The contracts are part of a $7 billion Renewable and Alternative Energy Power Production for DoD Installations.
• This first round of contracts are focused on geothermal energy but will grow to include technologies, solar, wind and biomass projects announced throughout 2013.

From the article:
“Building on that, in April 2012 President Obama vowed that the U.S. would deploy 3 gigawatts of renewable energy -- comprising solar, wind, biomass and geothermal -- across all the services by 2025.”
