RFP for ENHANCED USE LEASE (“EUL”) OPPORTUNITY COMMERCIAL POWER GENERATION
The Department of the Army is seeking proposals for long-term Enhanced Use Leases (EULs) to develop commercial power generation facilities—including natural gas, geothermal, nuclear (up to 500 MW per unit), or solar—on non-excess land at seven installations: Aberdeen Proving Ground, Fort Detrick, Letterkenny Army Depot, Picatinny Arsenal, Tobyhanna Army Depot, and West Point Military Reservation. The lease term is 50 years, with a possible renewal option, and consideration to the Army will be in cash, in-kind, or a combination, at fair market value determined by an appraisal. The selected lessee must design, finance, build, own, and operate the project, selling power to a third-party off-taker during normal grid operations while providing resilience capabilities to the Army during grid outages exceeding four hours. No specific budget amounts or submission timelines are mentioned in the description. Performance locations are the specified Army installations.
