Otis Microgrid ribbon cutting ceremony
102nd Intelligence Wing
Aug. 29, 2018 | 2:00
The 102nd Intelligence Wing held a ribbon cutting ceremony to mark the initial operating capability of the installation’s newly completed, energy independent microgrid system on Wednesday, August 29, 2018.

The keynote speaker for the event was the Honorable John W. Henderson, Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Installations, Environment and Energy.

The Otis Microgrid provides for an energy capability almost exclusively based on renewable energy while ensuring a high-level of grid security. In addition to providing energy resiliency for the 102nd Intelligence Wing’s Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance mission, it increases value to the Air Force and National Guard as well as state and Federal government through revenue and research opportunities for the energy industry. The Otis Microgrid reduces reliance on fossil fuels and takes advantage of wind power. The energy security and resiliency provided by the microgrid is critical to the 24/7 mission of the 102nd Intelligence Wing.
