JOHNSTOWN, Pa., June 7 (UPI) -- Concurrent Technologies Corp. was selected to develop new energy security solutions for integration at U.S. Army installations.

CTC was awarded two contracts worth a total of $3.5 million. Under the first contract, CTC will help strengthen the energy security posture at Army bases by developing an energy self-audit model for use at the installations.

"The overall goal of the effort is to standardize a methodology that will assist the Army and its installations in prioritizing their energy security needs and develop actionable plans to reduce risk," Susan Van Scoyoc, CTC project manager, said in a statement.

As part of the second contract CTC will examine the critical energy supply needs of three installations under an effort to isolate the base's energy needs and remove it from the commercial electric grid.

The contracts were awarded by the Army Engineer Research Development Center -- Construction Engineering Research Laboratory and are part of a larger effort by the Defense Department to reduce its energy footprint.
