The planned 20-megawatt solar farm at Fort Bliss will comprise nearly 94,000 solar panels and could be ready by 2015, officials announced Friday.

Fort Bliss Commanding General Maj. Gen. Dana J.H. Pittard said he hopes it won’t take long for other military installations across the nation to follow Fort Bliss in its efforts to conserve energy, use renewable energy sources and be energy secure.
