Honeywell, OG&E help modernize Tinker Air Force Base
Honeywell and Oklahoma Gas & Electric announced a $19.1 million facility modernization project that is expected to reduce energy consumption by 44% and lower energy expenses at Tinker Air Force Base’s assembly plant. Combined with previous energy retrofit projects and sustainability initiatives on the base, the project helps the Oklahoma City Air Force base's efforts to achieve the federally-mandated goal to reduce energy consumption by 25% by 2025.
The project is being led by OG&E and funded through a utility energy service contract. The contract enables the base to pay for the project using future energy savings generated by the more efficient energy, water, and renewable systems to be installed. Honeywell is providing the upgrades and is guaranteeing the savings.
