US Department of Defense,
. . . the world’s single largest consumer of
. . . all forms of energy globally,  
. . . is expected spend,
. . . $1.4 billion in 2026, on microgrids, combined with solar PV
. . . according to Navigant Research.

High mortality rates,
. . . from transporting fossil fuels to combat missions in Iraq and Afghanistan,
. . . are one of the reasons US Secretary of Defense, James Matthis,
. . . wants to double-down on microgrid deployment.

Navigant Research,
. . . has concluded that by using microgrids,
. . . the Department of Defense would also,  be able to reduce the
. . . $4 billion it currently spends on energy across its
. . . 523 installations, and
. . . 280,000 buildings.
