With the rising energy requirements across the U.S. Space Force, Space Delta 4 team members are constantly developing and implementing ways to efficiently save money and create a self-sustaining power source.
The 6th Space Warning Squadron at Cape Cod Space Force Station, Massachusetts, is one of the units leading the way and investing in a renewable source, which in turn significantly cuts costs. As they consume about $5,000 worth of electricity every day, they were able to install wind turbines to save a tremendous amount each month in electric cost. Operational since 2014, they have generated enough electricity to repay the initial investment more than four years ahead of schedule.
