This panel brings together subject matter experts from the public- and private-sectors for an interactive discussion around mission assurance through resilient installation and energy microgrids.
Ms. Jennifer L. Miller serves as the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Installations, Environment and Energy. We are so fortunate to have her join us and offer her unique perspective. Be sure to check out this informative session and the Q&A that follows
GCEN Executive Director Dave Robau gives closing remarks and thanks to everyone that attended and helped with Power Up Energy Expo 2020.
In the wake of extreme weather events such as Hurricane Michael and Super Storm Sandy, it is clear that new design standards and innovative building solutions are needed to protect military installations from the impacts of climate change. This session covers the new building requirements and new methods of fortified construction.
At the direction of the Secretary of the Air Force, General Melançon is leading a team to program and prepare to execute nearly $3 billion in funding to construct a digitally connected, 21st century Air Force base capable of supporting up to three squadrons of F-35s and one squadron of MQ-9s. This session offers a timely discussion around current mission priorities at Tyndall AFB followed by a Q&A session.
In the wake of Hurricane Michael, Congress doubled-down on its commitment to build Tyndall back better and stronger than before. This requires a new paradigm shift a break from traditional design and construction. This session brings together thought leaders from the federal labs and the local utilities to discuss new technologies to deliver energy resiliency for mission assurance.
