Fort Hood kept lights on during winter storm, and now has a massive electric bill
Fort Hood was able to keep the power on at the military post during the historic Texas ice storm last month, but now the “ginormous” energy bill has come in.
Fort Hood’s February electricity bill is estimated to be about $30 million, Fort Hood’s Director of Public Works Brian Dosa told the Herald this week.
“The entire year of 2020, our electricity bill was like $25 million,” Dosa said. “So, in one month we eclipsed the entire 2020 electric cost and that was all driven by the market pricing. And that wasn’t just Fort Hood. Folks across the state were subject to that market.”
Roger Williams, R-Austin, whose district includes a portion of Fort Hood, said he will also be looking into it. In a statement, Williams said he was told Fort Hood’s electric bill for February is closer to $36 million.
