Each Secretary of a military department shall ensure that covered prototype and demonstration projects are conducted at each military installation designated by that Secretary as an Energy Resilience Testbed pursuant to subsection (b). Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, each Secretary of a military department, in consultation with the Secretary of the Defense, shall— select at least two military installations under the jurisdiction of that Secretary for designation pursuant to paragraph (3); and incorporate the conduct of covered prototype and demonstration projects into the mission of each installation so selected.
In selecting military installations under paragraph (1), each Secretary of a military department shall, to the extent practicable, take into consideration the following: The mission of the installation. The geographic terrain of the installation and of the community surrounding the installation. The energy resources available to support the installation. Any State or local regulations that apply with respect to public or private utilities serving the installation. An assessment of any climate or extreme weather risks or vulnerabilities at the installation and the community surrounding the installation.
Each installation selected under paragraph
(1)shall be known as an Energy Resilience Testbed . Covered prototype and demonstration projects conducted at military installations designated pursuant to subsection
(b)shall include the prototype and demonstration of technologies in the following areas: Energy storage technologies, including long-duration energy storage systems. Technologies that support electric vehicles or the transition to use of electric vehicles, including with respect to tactical vehicles. Technologies to improve building energy efficiency in a cyber-secure manner, such as advanced lighting controls, high-performance cooling systems, and technologies for waste heat recovery. Technologies to improve building energy management and control in a cyber-secure manner. Tools and processes for design, assessment, and decision-making on the installation with respect to climate resilience and hazard analysis, energy use, management, and the construction of climate resilient buildings and infrastructure. Carbon sequestration technologies. Technologies relating to on-site resilient energy generation, including advanced geothermal and advanced nuclear technologies. Port electrification and surrounding defense critical infrastructure and related non-Federal infrastructure, including surrounding defense community infrastructure. Tidal and wave power technologies. Distributed leger technologies. Not later than 180 days after the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the Secretaries of the military departments, shall provide to the appropriate congressional committees a briefing on the conduct of covered prototype and demonstration projects at each military installation designated pursuant to subsection (b). Such briefing shall include the following: An identification of each military installation so designated. A justification as to why each military installation so designated was selected for such designation. A strategy for commencing the conduct of such projects at each military installation so designated by not later than one year after the date of the enactment of this Act. The Secretary of Defense shall ensure that, beginning not later than one year after the date of the enactment of this Act, covered prototype and demonstration projects are conducted at, and such conduct is incorporated into the mission of, each military installation designated pursuant to subsection (b). Each Secretary of a military department may enter into a partnership with, or seek to establish, a consortium of industry, academia, and other entities described in paragraph
(2)to conduct covered prototype and demonstration projects at a military installation designated by that Secretary pursuant to subsection (b). The entities described in this paragraph are as follows: National laboratories. Industry entities the primary work of which relates to energy and climate security technologies and business models. Covered prototype and demonstration projects required under this section may be conducted as part of the program for operational energy prototyping established under section 324(c) of the William M.
(Mac)Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 ( Public Law 116–283 ; 134 Stat. 3523; 10 U.S.C. 2911 note) (including by using funds available under the Operational Energy Prototyping Fund established pursuant to such section), using the other transactions authority under section 4021 or 4022 of title 10, United States Code, or using any other available authority or funding source the Secretary of Defense determines appropriate. Each Secretary of a military department shall ensure that, to the extent practicable, any transaction entered into under the other transactions authority under section 4022 of title 10, United States Code, for the conduct of a covered prototype and demonstration project under this section shall provide for the award of a follow-on production contract or transaction pursuant to subsection
(f)of such section 4022. In carrying out this section, to the extent practicable, the Secretary of Defense shall collaborate with the Secretary of Energy and the heads of such other Federal departments and agencies as the Secretary of Defense may determine appropriate, including by entering into relevant memoranda of understanding. In this section: The term appropriate congressional committees means— the Committee on Armed Services and the Committee on Energy and Commerce of the House of Representatives; and the Committee on Armed Services and the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the Senate. The term community infrastructure has the meaning given that term in section 2391(e) of tile 10, United States Code. The term covered prototype and demonstration project means a project to prototype and demonstrate advanced technologies to enhance energy resilience and climate security at a military installation. The term military installation has the meaning given that term in section 2867 of title 10, United States Code.
