Some of the energy-and-sustainability focused projects are the aeroderivative gas generator partnership with Colorado Springs Utilities and the Battery Energy Storage System, future site of Flow Battery project. They left that experience by saying ‘this should be the prototype of how we should approach energy and how we can apply this government wide.’” “We had three representatives from the White House who specifically came here to learn about Fort Carson’s energy plans. “I was able to accompany our visitors from the White House on the tour of innovative energy initiatives Fort Carson’s outstanding team has been implementing,” said Jacobson.
