MP2 Energy Chosen To Partner With Apex Clean Energy To Provide Electricity For Fort Hood

MP2 Energy announced that it has been chosen to partner with Apex Clean Energy to supply both renewable energy and system electricity to Fort Hood, outside of Killeen, Texas

Earlier this year, the U.S. Army signed a power purchase agreement with Apex Clean Energy for a hybrid wind and solar energy project consisting of 65.8 MW of electricity from a combination of large-scale renewable energy solar and wind facilities to serve 40 percent of Fort Hood's electricity needs.

Apex engaged MP2 Energy to provide retail services and serve as the Quality Scheduling Entity (QSE) to deliver the aforementioned 65.8 MW of solar and wind power. The solar power will be produced by the Phantom Solar facility on-site at Fort Hood, and the wind energy will be produced by the Cotton Plains Wind Energy Facility in Northwest Texas.

MP2 will provide the remaining 60 percent of electricity needed to power Fort Hood through the ERCOT market.

MP2, in conjunction with Apex, will be involved on both the wholesale and retail sides of the agreement

MP2 Energy is now managing solar and renewable energy on two Texas military bases including an early June agreement with a DOD contractor to supply the retail energy and provide retail net metering for rooftop solar panels.
