NEW YORK, Sept. 18, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Frontier Power USA has been selected by the U.S. Army to develop an energy resilience project at Tobyhanna Army Depot in Pennsylvania. The project, part of the Army's Strategic Capital Initiative, aims to enhance the regional power system and bolster the installation's energy security.
Under a long-term lease of underutilized land, Frontier Power USA will develop new energy infrastructure that includes power generation, energy storage, and related technologies. This integrated approach is designed to meet the needs of critical customers, ensuring reliable, secure, and domestically sourced energy solutions.
Jay Bellows, CEO of Frontier Power USA, expressed enthusiasm about the project, stating, "We are honored to support the U.S. Army and its mission. We are proud to bring private capital and American innovation to Army installations, combining American-made battery energy storage with U.S.-compliant power generation to deliver resilient, mission-ready power at scale."
The project aligns with the broader model of cooperation between the Army and private industry, where non-excess, underutilized land is leased to American companies that finance, build, own, and operate the assets at no capital cost to the government. This initiative is particularly timely given the rising power demand across the United States, as projects like this add market-based generation and storage capacity to the grid while providing host installations with on-site capability.
The development process will involve negotiations with the U.S. Army to determine the final project scope, commercial arrangements, and the allocation of energy benefits. Frontier Power USA will work closely with leading American industrial and technology partners, including Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc., to support domestic manufacturing, energy security, and critical infrastructure development.
The Tobyhanna project exemplifies Frontier Power USA's capability to deliver integrated energy solutions for mission-critical customers. By combining generation, storage, and related infrastructure into a single, coordinated solution, the company aims to strengthen energy resilience, improve reliability, and support broader national energy priorities.
This project is part of a larger effort to enhance energy security and operational readiness at military installations. As the Army continues to prioritize energy resilience, such initiatives are crucial for maintaining readiness and ensuring the availability of reliable power in critical situations.
