## SEC. 2844 ADDITIONAL DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE ACTIVITIES TO IMPROVE ENERGY RESILIENCY OF MILITARY INSTALLATIONS **[**[10 U.S.C. 2802 note](/us/usc/t10/s2802)**]** ###
(a)Consideration of Including Energy Microgrid in Military Construction Projects ####
(1)Amendment of unified facilities criteria required The Secretary of Defense shall amend the Unified Facilities Criteria/DoD Building Code (UFC 1-200-01) to require that planning and design for military construction projects inside the United States include consideration of the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of installing an energy microgrid as part of the project, including intentional islanding capability of at least seven consecutive days, for the purpose of— #####
(A)promoting on-installation energy security and energy resilience; and #####
(B)facilitating implementation and greater use of the authority provided by subsection
(h)of section 2911 of title 10, United States Code, as added and amended by section 2825 of the Military Construction Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (division B of Public Law 116-283). ####
(2)Deadline The Secretary of Defense shall complete the amendment process required by paragraph
(1)and implement the amendment not later than September 1, 2022. ###
(b)Contracts for Emergency Access to Existing On-installation Renewable Energy Sources In the case of a covered renewable energy generating source located on a military installation pursuant to a lease of non-excess defense property under section 2667 of title 10, United States Code, the Secretary of the military department concerned is encouraged to negotiate with the owner and operator of the renewable energy generating source to revise the lease contract to permit the military installation to access the renewable energy generating source during an emergency. The negotiations shall include consideration of the ease of modifying the renewable energy generating source to include an islanding capability, the necessity of additional infrastructure to tie the renewable energy generating source into the installation energy grid, and the cost of such modifications and infrastructure. ###
(c)Definitions In this section: ####
(1)The term “covered renewable energy generating source” means a renewable energy generating source that, on the date of the enactment of this Act— #####
(A)is located on a military installation inside the United States; but #####
(B)cannot be used as a direct source of resilient energy for the installation in the event of a power disruption. ####
(2)The term “islanding capability” refers to the ability to remove an energy system, such as a microgrid, from the local utility grid and to operate the energy system, at least temporarily, as an integrated, stand-alone system, during an emergency involving the loss of external electric power supply. ####
(3)The term “microgrid” means an integrated energy system consisting of interconnected loads and energy resources with an islanding capability to permit functioning separate from the local utility grid. ## Subtitle F Land Conveyances
