Powering Military Bases:DoDs Installation Energy Eorts

By Andrew Holland, Nick Cunningham, Kaitlyn Huppmann, andWilliam Joyce

July 2013

Introduction

Te U.S. Department o Deense (DoD) is the largest single consumer o energy in the

world.1

Te largest share o DoDs consumption is or operational energy the energy used to ght,train and transport the orce. Tis is mostly composed o petroleum based liquid uel.

Oten overlooked, however, is that the military is also a large consumer o energy on itsbases. Known as installation energy, this is the power that DoD uses to heat and cool itsbuildings, electriy its operations, and to operate eets o non-tactical vehicles.

Te U.S. militarys vast energy needs leave it vulnerable to price volatility and supplydisruptions. Currently, back-up power is provided on bases primarily by diesel generators,

which have their own vulnerabilities.

o mitigate these vulnerabilities, the military is undertaking a variety o initiatives to increaserenewable energy generation. Te stated objective o building out substantial renewableenergy capacity is to increase installation resilience in the ace o unknown events. PresidentObama recently reafrmed DoDs goal o building 3 gigawatts o renewable energy onmilitary installations by 2025 as part o his administrations Climate Action Plan.2

Tis act sheet explores how DoD is working to improve the management and production oinstallation energy rom clean sources. It is not a ull catalog o every initiative or installation;

instead it outlines the top installation energy priorities or the military and the progress madein achieving those goals.

AMERICAN SECURITY PROJECT

Why Are Leaders Focused on Installation Energy?

Fixed military installations support the warghter both at home and abroad. Tey are critical to missiopreparedness, training and housing warghters in all services o the military. Military bases are the staginground or emergency response scenarios such as responding to natural disasters or terrorist attacks. Tey athe operational bases or many critical national security missions.

It is important, thereore, or national security that military bases have assured access to the energy they neto meet their missions. However, military installations are also large consumers o energy. Energy consumed DoDs installations accounts or almost 1% o total energy consumption in the United States.3

Importantly, the goal o DoDs energy initiatives is not to separate military bases rom the national grid; itto increase the resilience o both. Private sector utilities, public power districts, and local cooperatives remacentral to the militarys missions. Te ability to generate renewable power on base combined with investmenin a smarter grid can help the resilience o both the military and the civilian national grid.

Cost DoD operates over 500 installations in the U.S. and abroad.4

Te DoD operates nearly 300,000 buildings, covering 2.3 billion square eet o space. Tat is thrtimes larger than Walmart and six times greater than the General Services Administration (GSA).5

Te energy costs or installations or FY2011 are estimated at $4.1 billion, comprising 26% o DoDoverall energy expenditure.6

Mission Assurance DoD installations rely on the commercial power grid or 99% o their electricity needs.7 Tis is a

propriate because the military is not a utility.

A disruption o electric power to military bases whether rom a natural disaster, a physical or cybattack, or simply a grid malunction would interere with mission preparedness.

Currently, in the event o a loss o power, installations are dependent upon backup diesel generatoto ensure steady access to electricity.8 On average these installations have only 3-7 days o backup uand have not planned or the potential or a long-term loss o power.9

How Can the Military Alleviate Tese Treats?

DoD plans to scale up renewable energy and energy storage on bases.

By using distributed generation, bases will be able to island or separate bases rom the commecial power grid in the event o a supply disruption.

As o now, the microgrids that will allow this are not widespread, but they will mark a cornerstoo DoDs eorts at improving energy security or its installations.

By the end o FY2011, DoD had a total o 44 installations in the U.S. with plans or microgrids, orthat have conducted microgrid studies or demonstrations.10

Tese microgrids range rom demand response and small solar PV arrays that work in conjunctionwith the commercial grid, to higher concentrations o solar PV with energy storage that can separaterom the commercial grid when necessary.

Te Role of Microgrids in Improving Energy Security

Advanced microgrids with renewable energy can enhance energy security and help assure mission e-ectiveness in the event o power interruptions or demand surges.11

oday, no bases operate using solely renewable energy. With a microgrid, renewable energy with en-ergy storage can signicantly extend islanding time in the event o a power outage.

I power is cut o to an installation, microgrids can automatically prioritize mission critical activities,and shed less important uses o power.

Microgrids can also improve the resiliency o the civilian power grid by allowing military bases toautomatically shut down non-critical systems during commercial demand spikes. Tis would allowutilities greater exibility in managing power loads.

What Has DoD Done So Far?

Te Energy Independence and Security Act o 2007 requires the ederal government including DoDacilities to reduce energy use in its buildings by 30% by FY2015. 12 Te John Warner National Deense

Authorization Act or Fiscal Year 2007 mandates DoD obtain 25% o its electricity rom renewable sources by2025.13 In 2012, the Deense Department made a commitment to install 3 gigawatts o renewable generating

capacity, one rom each o the Army, Navy, and Air Force Installations by 2025.14

As o FY2011, DoD achieveda 13.3% reduction in energyintensity at its acilities rom a2003 baseline.15

As o FY2011, DoD producedor procured 8.5% o its totalacility electricity consump-tion rom renewable energy.16

Te Navys large 270 megawattChina Lake geothermal acil-ity alone accounts o nearlythree quarters o the militarysrenewable energy capacity.

DoD has planned to install 1.9 gigawatts o renewable energy projects between 2012-2017, 58% owhich will come rom solar PV.17

Each o the branches has their own goals and metrics or increasing resilience in their installation energy use.

ARMY

Te Army is the largest in-stallation energy user inthe DoD, making up 36%o total acility energy con-sumption in FY2011.

By 2020 the Army aims toproduce 1 gigawatt o ener-gy rom renewable sources,earlier than its 2025 man-

date.18

Based on the FY2003 base-line, the Army reduced en-ergy intensity 11.8% byFY2011.19

Te Armys agship clean energy program is the Army Net Zero Initiative.20

Launched in 2010, the Army Net Zero Initiative has the stated goal o where scally re-sponsible providing greater water and energy security and increasing operational exibility.

Te Army denes a Net Zero Energy Installation is one that produces as much energy onsite as it consumes; uses water so as not to deplete the watershed; and reduces waste to thepoint o contributing zero waste to landll.

Since 2011, there have been 17 pilot projects.

Te Army hopes to establish 25 Net Zero Installations by 2030.21

Te Army intends to institutionalize the Net Zero approach by directing all installations to imple-ment Net Zero practices to the maximum extent possible.22

Fort Bliss

Fort Bliss, located in New Mexico and exas, is the nations largest Army baseand will showcase the Armys Net Zero Initiative.23 Te Army expects Fort Blissto produce as much energy as it consumes, allowing it to be designated as a NetZero Installation by 2018. Te base will host 20 megawatts o solar power; already,the installation o 1 MW o solar energy is underway. Military planners are alsoconsidering wind and geothermal power.

Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake

Te Naval Air Weapons Station at China Lake hosts the Naval Air WarareCenter Weapons Division, where the Navy and Marine Corps developand test major airborne weapons systems. It is also home to a large 270

megawatt geothermal power plant DoDs largest single renewable energyproject.

In October 2012, the Navy agreed to a 20-year power purchasingagreement to procure 13.78 megawatts o solar PV, which will power30% o the bases electricity.34 Te project claims that it will save the Navy$13 million over its lietime.

Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Miramar

Located outside o San Diego, CA, MCAS Miramar was selected to serve asa prototype Net Zero installation. In June 2012 a 3.2 megawatt waste-to-energy acility began operations at MCAS Miramar.

Te acility converts methane gas rom a landll to electricity, and it provides50% o the bases needs.35

Forward Outlook

Te military has ambitious plans to roll out renewable energy, including the Presidents plan or gigawatts o renewable power on military installations by 2025.

DoD relies heavily on the private sector, using power purchase agreements to procure renewable energy.

Renewable energy can contribute to the militarys mission eectiveness by allowing bases to islandrom the commercial grid in the event o a supply disruption, providing resiliency and redundancacross the grid.

DoDs microgrid initiatives can improve the civilian electric grid as well by providing utilities wiexibility.

DoD will need to scale up microgrids in order to ully take advantage o the potential o renewabenergy.

ConclusionIn the last ew years the U.S. military has invested signicantly in renewable energy and energy efciency orits bases. While installed renewable capacity remains only a raction o total energy use, it is displacing ossiluels or DoDs energy needs.

Tere are multiple benets o DoDs renewable energy initiatives. Military installation can lower energy costsby locking in long-term power purchasing agreements. Tey can also enhance energy security by providingresiliency renewable energy combined with energy storage can provide bases with backup power in case oa power disruption.

Moreover, DoDs microgrids can be an asset to commercial utilities by allowing them more exibility. Baseswith islanding capability can be separated rom the grid when utilities need to manage periods o high demand.

Te militarys installation energy initiatives are still in their inancy and most bases rely overwhelmingly on thecommercial grid with inadequate plans or backup power. DoDs goal o installing 3 gigawatts o renewablepower by 2025 is an important rst step in improving energy security or U.S. military installations.

Building a New American Arsenal

Te American Security Project (ASP) is a nonpartisan initiative to educate

the American public about the changing nature o national security in the

21st century.

Gone are the days when a nations strength could be measured by bombers

and battleships. Security in this new era requires a New American Arsenal

harnessing all o Americas strengths: the orce o our diplomacy; the might o

our military; the vigor o our economy; and the power o our ideals.

We believe that America must lead other nations in the pursuit o our

common goals and shared security. We must conront international

challenges with all the tools at our disposal. We must address emerging

problems beore they become security crises. And to do this, we must orge a

new bipartisan consensus at home.

ASP brings together prominent American leaders, current and ormer

members o Congress, retired military ocers, and ormer government

ocials. Sta direct research on a broad range o issues and engages and

empowers the American public by taking its fndings directly to them.

We live in a time when the threats to our security are as complex and diverse

as terrorism, the spread o weapons o mass destruction, climate change,ailed and ailing states, disease, and pandemics. Te same-old solutions

and partisan bickering wont do. America needs an honest dialogue about

security that is as robust as it is realistic.

ASP exists to promote that dialogue, to orge consensus, and to spur

constructive action so that America meets the challenges to its security while

seizing the opportunities the new century oers.
