Alan Lowenthal, Leeney, Vig, Chet Simmons, city manager for the City of Los Alamitos, and Tim Whitacre, district director for Orange County 1st District Supervisor Andrew Do. The project, which will be constructed, owned and operated by Bright Canyon Energy, will generate 26 megawatts of solar photovoltaics, and will include a battery energy storage system, backup generators and a microgrid control system. The project enhances the installation’s energy resilience by providing power for critical missions for a minimum of two weeks during electrical grid outages. The project supports the Army Climate Strategy goal to build a microgrid on every installation by 2035. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Staff Sgt. Crystal Housman)
