Quick Summary
The Department of the Army is planning a Design-Bid-Build Construction project for the Anniston Army Depot (ANAD) Power Generation and Microgrid Project in Anniston, Alabama. This effort aims to enhance energy resiliency by constructing an on-site, automated energy control/generation storage management system with full islanding capability. The anticipated contract value is between $25,000,000 and $100,000,000.
