Naval Station Guantanamo Bay

Navy’s first implementation and use of liquified natural gas.

The new power plant complex will become the primary power generation facility for NS Guantanamo Bay. The installation’s current diesel generator complex will become a subsidiary system to ensure a more consistent power supply, as well as a backup system in the event of power failures or planned maintenance.

Annual savings from this project will include a reduction of nearly 4 million BTUs and nearly 1 million gallons of water.

“With 17 percent of the power generated by the new plant using renewable sources of energy, this facility will not only be more effective than the outdated equipment it replaces, it will also be much friendlier for the environment,” said NS Guantanamo Bay Assistant Public Works Officer Lt. Matthew Lundin.

Naval Facilities Engineering Command Engineering and Expeditionary Warfare Center awarded the $828.8 million multiple award indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity ESPC and will have contract oversight while NAVFAC Southeast and the Facilities, Engineering and Acquisition Director at NS Guantanamo Bay will oversee the work on site.

“This project will pay tremendous dividends in energy efficiency and security,” said Naval Station Guantanamo Bay Commanding Officer Capt. John Fischer. “Naval Station Guantanamo Bay is a leader in shore installation innovation, and the ESPC proves we’re continuing on that course.”
