A new 1.4-megawatt solar installation has been completed at the McGhee Tyson Air National Guard Base in Louisville/Alcoa.
...
The solar system, designed to enhance the base’s energy resilience and offset energy costs, is part of a phased initiative to establish a microgrid at the base. The base will eventually add battery storage to the installation, further reducing the base’s grid reliance.
Is it good this project was finished before the president canceled funding?
