Report To The Congress

OF THE UNITED STATES






Army Procurement Of 1OkW,

60Hz Gas Turbine Generators

Is Highly Questionable



A 10-kilowatt (kW), 60-hertz (Hz) gas turbine
generator which the Army plans to buy does
not meet the Army's requirements. Its relia-
bility is too low, fuel consumption too high,
and life-cycle cost excessive. The Army could
save from $275 million to $1.6 billion over 20
years if it purchased diesel generators instead
of 5,938 10kW gas turbines. GAO recom-
mends that the Army (1) purchase diesel gen-
erators instead of gas turbines for its 10kW
power requirements and (2) evaluate using
5kW diesel and gasoline generators instead of
10kW gas turbines for its 5kW power require-
ments.
