Utility Privatization

SUS owns, operates and maintains the electrical distribution system at Fort Bragg through a privatization contract.  Utility Privatization is defined as the conveyance of a utility system to a private or cooperative utility company or other entity.  The conveyance may consist of all right, title, and interest of the United States in the utility system(s), accomplished in accordance with 10 U.S.C 2688 – Utility Systems Conveyance Authority.  The intention of privatization is to reduce the Government’s life cycle costs.  Privatization includes all management, supervision, permits, equipment, supplies, materials, transportation, and any other items or services required for the complete ownership.  SUS considers privatization more like a 50-year partnership with Fort Bragg to own, manage, plan, construct, operate, maintain, repair, design and improve the electrical system at lower costs and increased reliability.
