Dominion Energy was awarded a utility energy service contract to upgrade the power infrastructure of Marine Corps Base Quantico.
The contract's length runs for 22 years and will bring in $47.9 million to the Virginia-based power company. Dominion's responsibilities for this contract will include the installation of new generators, meters, and other improvements that are designed to provide greater energy resiliency and efficiency to the base.
According to the press release from Dominion, Quantico expects to realize an average annual savings of $1.6 million due to the contract.
Dominion will also have contracting and technical support from the Naval Facilities Engineering System Command in order to carry out the contract.
According to Captain Allison Burgos, Communications Strategy and Operations Officer for Marine Base Quantico, there are no immediate issues with the base's power infrastructure but will allow them to modernize systems and reduce energy consumption.
The base's power systems have been constantly upgraded since it was installed when the Quantico base was first built in 1915.
"As new buildings and new grid technology becomes available, standard updates have been performed accordingly throughout the years," states Burgos.
Potomac Local News recently reported that Marine Corps Base Quantico is also in the process of building a new wargaming center designed to train soldiers in cyber defense. The center is scheduled to be completed and opened by 2023.
Burgos tells PLN that the upgrades to the base's power infrastructure and the building of the wargaming facility are unrelated matters.

Inspired by local physicians who were among the nation’s first to adopt the concierge medicine model, Northern Virginia is now a hub for its surging popularity. These leading physicians are redefining the patient experience with same-day appointments, direct availability, unhurried visits, and deeply personalized care:
After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”
Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
