The Air Force Civil Engineer Center recently completed an energy conservation investment project at Clear Air Force Station, Alaska. The ECIP connected the Alaskan transmission network using a newly-constructed electrical substation, and added a grid-powered heat plant and additional backup power. Previously powered exclusively by a 53-year-old coal-fired plant on site, cost avoidance from modernization and cost savings in operations, maintenance, labor and fuel will save the Air Force approximately $2.6 million in fiscal 2016 and $1.9 million each year after — meaning the $23.5 million ECIP will pay for itself in savings in less than five years.
