US Army’s Fort Riley solar installation reaches 16 MW, powers 40% of base housing

FORT RILEY, Kan. - U.S. Army Garrison Fort Riley recently celebrated the completion of the third phase of its on-site solar energy project.

This latest phase brings the garrison’s capacity to more than 16 MW and makes it one of the largest renewable energy projects in Kansas. Adding 4.23 MW of capacity, the two ground-mounted solar arrays in the latest phase were interconnected in December and recently completed a month of successful operations.

Corvias, a sustainable infrastructure solutions provider and military family housing partner of the U.S. Army, has led the development of all three phases of the project. Previous phases included rooftop arrays built in 2018 and 2021.
