This most recent awarded project is at the VA Aleda E. Lutz Medical Center in Saginaw Michigan. Last week, IX Energy announced an awarded rooftop solar system at the VA Ann Arbor Health Care System.nbsp;

The ARRA provides $1 billion for Veterans Health Administrationrsquo;s (VHA) non-recurring maintenance (NRM) program.nbsp; The focus of the VHA NRM projects is to correct, replace, upgrade, and modernize existing infrastructure and utility systems at VA medical centers.nbsp; Projects include, but are not limited to, patient privacy corrections, life safety corrections, facility condition deficiency corrections, utility system upgrades, and mental health improvements.nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;

Of the total amount, VA has dedicated $200 million to expand its renewable energy portfolio, implement energy efficiency projects, and install energy and water meters to meet federal mandates. Types of renewable energy projects include studies and/or implementation of solar photovoltaic, wind turbine, direct geothermal and renewably fueled cogeneration systems.nbsp; Along with the centrally-managed energy initiatives mentioned above, an additional $197 million will be dedicated to ARRA projects that include a renewable energy and/or energy efficiency component.

Steve Hoffmann, CEO of IX Energy, said, ldquo;This is an extremely positive development for our business to have been awarded a second solar project for the VA through our teaming agreement with Legatus6. VA hospitals are under a broader federal mandate for government agencies to increase their consumption of renewable energy, which is creating more demand and opportunities in the market. We are pleased to work with this additional VA facility in its effort to increase its use of renewable energy.rdquo;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;
