Dominion wins $61 million Fort Hood microgrid contract

Dominion Privatization Texas has secured a $61 million contract from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to build a microgrid system at Fort Hood, Texas, supporting efforts to strengthen the installation’s power capabilities and operational resilience.

The firm-fixed-price award carries a total cumulative face value of approximately $61.5 million. Work will take place at Fort Hood, one of the U.S. Army’s largest installations, with completion expected by May 7, 2029.

Microgrids give military installations greater control over local electricity generation and distribution. They can integrate multiple energy sources and manage electrical loads locally, helping sustain critical operations when the surrounding utility grid experiences outages or disruptions.

That reliability supports military functions that depend on continuous electricity, including communications systems, logistics operations and command facilities.

The Army Corps of Engineers received one proposal after soliciting bids through the internet. Its Louisville District is the contracting activity for the award, identified as contract W912QR-27-C-A002.

At the time of the award, approximately $61 million in fiscal 2027 military construction, defense-wide funding was obligated for the project, committing the primary contract funding as the project enters its construction phase.

The Fort Hood project adds to Dominion Privatization Texas’ work supporting military utility and energy requirements. It also represents a significant infrastructure investment as the Department of Defense continues to focus on the resilience and reliability of power systems serving military installations.
