Summary
Assistant Secretary of the Army for Installations, Energy and Environment Rachel Jacobson visited Fort Leonard Wood this week to learn more about energy initiatives on post and tour facilities.
They discussed many of the projects and facilities that would later be seen on a windshield tour of the post, including the Propane-Air Mixing Plant and the two combined heat and power plants on post. He said his goal is to build resiliency and better ensure reliable power and water, so the training mission can continue here through any unforeseen problems.
The implementation of combined heat and power, also commonly known as cogeneration, increases energy efficiency by allowing heat that would normally be lost in power generation to be recovered to provide heating and/or cooling, which cuts costs, Simpson said.
