Dominion Privatization Texas has been awarded a $61 million firm-fixed-price contract by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for construction of a microgrid system at Fort Hood, Texas.
The contract has a total cumulative face value of approximately $61.5 million and will support the development of energy infrastructure designed to improve the installation’s power capabilities.
Microgrid systems can provide military installations with greater control over local energy generation and distribution while supporting operational resilience when broader utility systems experience interruptions.
Under the award, Dominion Privatization Texas will perform the work at Fort Hood, one of the U.S. Army’s largest installations.
The project is expected to be completed by May 7, 2029.
The Army Corps of Engineers solicited bids for the contract through the internet and received one proposal.
At the time of the award, approximately $61 million in fiscal 2027 military construction, defense-wide funding was obligated to support the project.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Louisville District is serving as the contracting activity under contract W912QR-27-C-A002.
The award represents a significant infrastructure investment at Fort Hood and comes as the Department of Defense continues focusing on the resilience and reliability of power systems supporting military installations.
Microgrids can integrate multiple energy sources and provide localized management of electrical loads, allowing installations to maintain critical operations during outages or disruptions affecting the surrounding grid.
For military bases, these systems can be particularly important because communications systems, logistics operations, command facilities, and other mission-critical functions depend on continuous access to reliable electricity.
The Fort Hood project will add another major infrastructure program to Dominion Privatization Texas’ work supporting military utility and energy requirements.
Because the full fiscal 2027 military construction amount was obligated at the time of award, the project enters its construction phase with the primary funding for the contract already committed.
Completion is scheduled for 2029, giving the contractor approximately two and a half years to deliver the microgrid infrastructure and associated work.
