GPA inks big contract with US Navy

On Friday, the Navy and Guam Power Authority signed a new utility service contract which extends its energy relationship through 2032. The Navy is GPA's biggest customer.

The authority’s first customer agreement with the navy took place in 1992 when they signed for two 10-year terms. GPA general manager John Benavente said, “Today’s event wasn’t just a signing ceremony; it is the continuation of the tremendous collaboration and commitment we have with the Navy. The Navy is a critical customer and a valued community partner, as well."

The Navy-GPA agreement will also allow the Navy to transfer power assets including substations and transmission and distribution lines to GPA at no cost, ultimately benefiting GPA’s customers.
