After serving as an important shipyard for nearly 200 years, The Navy Yard in Philadelphia has been transformed into a large industrial park. While many of the U.S. Navy’s activities at the shipyard ended in 1990s, the department maintains an inactive ship maintenance facility and conducts some engineering activities at the site – including equipment testing by the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC). In 2016, construction and installation delays on a permanent 20MW plant at NSWC prompted the Navy to solicit bids for a temporary source of power generation that could meet the demands of its energy-intensive testing activities.
