There are new opportunities for co-ops to work with the largest single consumer of energy and oil on the planet - the U.S. military.
NRECA's Cooperative Research Network (CRN) presented a live 90-minute web conference titled “Opportunities with Military Bases: Renewables, Utility Privatization, and Microgrids.” Guests, Robert E. Tritt, partner, and Justin M. Ganderson, associate, from McKenna Long & Aldridge LLP, discussed eligibility, benefits, common hurdles, tracking, and contract acquisition strategies for successful engagement with military facilities. And guest Nivin Elgohary, vice president of Public-Private Partnerships at CoBank, guided members through the financing process, while highlighting some of the opportunities and challenges that come with financing military base infrastructure and service contracts.
