Some Commanders are on board…


…but we need to engage ones that aren’t

Challenge: Lack of TimeSolution: Show how energy affects ALL things taking up leaders’ time. Make your time count!

Challenge: Lack of Knowledge Solution: Educate on how energy enhances their mission. Describe how energy resources/funding contribute to mission.

Challenge: Turnover of Leaders / PersonnelSolution: Even if you succeed re: time and knowledge, there is a need to

constantly educate and message to new leaders. Planning for turnover is key to a successful program.


We are not chasing goals and mandates anymore.

Evolving energy vision

The Marine Corps energy vision is:

EthosShared vision that efficient use of energy and water resources is a critical component of mission readiness

ReliabilityReducing the frequency and duration of services disruptions

ResilienceAnticipate, resist, absorb, respond, adapt and recover from a disturbance

EfficiencyBest mgmt. practices, infrastructure improvements, cost savings, increased productivity

InformationProvide comprehensive, accurate, timely and secured data


What matters to our leaders

• Mission. Developing projects that enhance energy resilience.

• Morale. Developing energy projects that improve quality of life, without affecting the mission.

• Money. Developing projects in a way that is cost-effective for base budget.


Engaging Leadership: Mission


2017 EF3 Tornado – MCLB Albany continued operations with landfill gas generator and backup power for 2 weeks.

2016 Awarded – $46M ESPC to become energy independent & net zero. 2016 Hurricane Matthew – Base operated as safe haven for evacuated

recruits from MCRD Parris Island. 2012 Main Substation Fire – Base operated for 2 weeks on landfill gas

and diesel backup generation while repairs were made.

Engaging Leadership: Mission (Plan and Invest)

Landfill Gas Generator


Engaging Leadership: Morale

Energy Projects Enable:

• Comfortable Workspaces • Both heating and cooling

• Adequate Lighting• Indoors and out

• Reliable Hot Water• Well-managed Humidity

• Comfort, prevents mold• Improved Maintenance


Engaging Leadership: Mission & Morale – Project

Cogeneration plants (16 MW) and PV array (5 MW) Microgrid design is underway – will allow base to continue mission

with resilient energy Projects provide electricity, heat, reliable power to support new

chilled water plants (air conditioning) – this raises Marine morale in the hot Mojave Desert, improves quality of training

Engaging Leadership: Morale – Project Example

Before: 150W HID After: 20W LED• Better lighting improves safety and work conditions• This example shows significant improvement in light quality, 75%

energy reduction


Engaging Leadership: Morale – Project Example

• How do you put a price on reliable Hot Water?• Several buildings at MCB Camp Pendleton replaced domestic hot

water (DHW) systems• Project created more reliable, available hot water while decreasing

the natural gas consumption by 45%


Engaging Leadership: Money

Smart financing creates opportunities for cost-effective projects: Leverage 3rd-party funding Combine O&M budgets Bundling projects

And once completed, projects continue to save. Saved utility costs through reduced consumption Reduced need for maintenance


Engage Leadership: Money

Energy Investment Program (EIP) Energy Resilience Investment Conservation

Program (ERCIP) Military Construction (MILCON) Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) Enhanced Use Leases (EUL) Energy Savings Performance Contract (ESPC) Utility Energy Services Contract (UESC) Environmental Security Technology

Certification Program (ESTCP)


Engaging Leadership: Money – Project Example

Decentralization of five steam plants at MCB Camp Lejeune dramatically impacted installation, MCICOM-wide consumption: Used O & M / Energy Investment Program (EIP) funds Energy Conservation Investment Program (ECIP) Funds Military Construction (MILCON) Utility Energy Service Contract (UESC)


Engaging Leadership: Money – Project Example

– MCB Camp Lejeune has seen EUI reduction of 20.69% since FY15

– Annual bill is more than $7M lower

– Makes up 28% of total MCICOM consumption – a win for the Corps


One final M… Marketing the Energy Ethos
