Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Energy, Installations &
Environment) 1 Association of Defense Communities National Summit
Panel: Executing Renewable Energy Projects Robert M. Griffin,
Executive Director of the Department of the Navys Renewable Energy
Program Office 2:15 3:30 pm Tuesday June, 2015
Slide 2
Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Energy, Installations &
Environment) 2 DON Shore-Based Renewable Energy Goals Federal Goal
The Energy Policy act 2005 requires 7.5 percent of our electrical
consumption in FY13 and beyond to come from renewable sources.
Extended by Executive Order 13693 to 30 percent by FY25 DOD Goal 10
U.S.C. 2911 requires the Department of Defense (DoD) to produce or
procure 25 percent of the total quantity of facility energy from
renewable energy (RE) sources beginning in 2025 SECNAV Goal By the
end of 2015, the DON will bring one gigawatt of renewable energy
into procurement for the shore-based load.
Slide 3
Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Energy, Installations &
Environment) What is a GW? Enough to power a quarter-million
households for a year (approximately equal to the number of houses
in Orlando, FL) About 6.6 million solar panels which would cover
the floor size of about 13 US Pentagons (using 150w rated solar
panels with dimensions of 49.4in x 38.5in) 3 Orlando, FL Aerial

Slide 4
Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Energy, Installations &
Environment) Renewable Energy: Powering the Future In order to
protect against potential economic and physical threats, and
maintain stability, SECNAV created the renewable energy goals to
boost the DONs energy security. Adding renewable energy to the
shore-based energy supply will provide long-term price stability,
can ensure the physical security of RE facilities and diversify
power supply. And, allow the DON to contribute further to the local
community. 4 Solar Farm at NAWS China Lake, photo credit

Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Energy, Installations &
Environment) REPO Project Development Models 5 Different
Development Models Accommodate Diverse Requirements and Market
Conditions Model 1 Model 2 Model 3 Off-base Generation for On-base
Consumption (Acquisition: USC/PPA) On-base Generation for Off-base
Consumption (Real Estate: Outgrant) On-base Generation for On-base
Consumption (Acquisition: PPA)
Slide 6
Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Energy, Installations &
Environment) Over 500 MW in Procurement to Date In a year since the
stand-up of REPO, the DON has brought over 500 MW of renewable
energy generation into procurement: Model 1 projects: 475 MW Up to
210 MW of capacity for 13 installations in CA through the Western
Area Power Administration Up to 205 MW of capacity for 11
installations in the Mid-Atlantic and DC-area regions Up to 58 MW
of capacity for the 3 Texas installations Model 2 projects: 59 MW
17 MW of capacity at MCB Camp Lejeune with Duke Energy 42 MW of
capacity at SUBASE Kings Bay with Georgia Power 6
Slide 7
Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Energy, Installations &
Environment) Steps to Success for Model 1 Projects 1.Understanding
consumption patterns and forecasting long-term loads to right-size
projects 2.Work with Acquisition, Counsel and other internal
stakeholders early-on and throughout. 3.Support and buy-in from
Senior DoD leaders 4.Develop project schedule and Business Case
Analysis to understand market timing and incentives 5.Created a
successful model that is being adopted by CEQ, for use by other
Federal entities 7 Dennis McGinn, right, Assistant Secretary of the
Navy for Energy, Installations and Environment, speaks with Mark A.
Gabriel, Administrator for Western Area Power Administration
(WAPA), during an office call in McGinn's office at the Pentagon.
The two discussed the Secretary of the Navy's initiative to meet
the renewable energy requirements of 14 Department of the Navy
installations in California.
Slide 8
Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Energy, Installations &
Environment) Over 500 MW of Model 2 & 3 Projects Critical path
elements for success: Completing expedited NEPA process by
Summer/Fall 2015 Finalizing in-kind consideration to maximize
energy security benefits and lay the framework for further
capabilities 8 MCB Camp Lejeune Model 2 Project: 17 MW (DC) solar
PV array located on MCB Camp Lejeune. The DON and Duke expect
project completion by December 31, 2015.

Slide 12
Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Energy, Installations &
Environment) New Facilities Will Create Local Economic Activity In
pursuit of the 1 GW goal: The DON has developed powerful
partnerships with local utilities and power providers The
development of new construction projects will create significant
economic activity in the local community 12
Slide 13
Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Energy, Installations &
Environment) Increasing DONs Energy Security with RE Deploying new
renewable energy generation will increase the DONs energy security
posture: Long-term contracts for RE at a set price provides
cost-stability Power diversification to increase the availability
of local energy sources Locating facilities on-base to provide
physical security Building partnership with local communities to
provide services in times of disaster or need Partnership between
Naval Submarine Base New London and town of Groton 13 While
assisting Japan in the aftermath of the 2011 earthquake and
tsunami, power was suddenly lost at Marine Corps Camp H.M. Smith on
Oahu a critical installation at headquarters to U.S. Pacific
Command, Special Operations Command Pacific and Marine Forces
Pacific. A backup generator onsite failed to run, resulting in a
power outage in the middle of a critical operation. Photo courtesy

Slide 14
Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Energy, Installations &
Environment) Leveraging RE Capacity for Microgrid Development and
Deployment 14 Additional/updated infrastructure is required to
create access to on-base renewable energy generation OSD energy
security work group is in process of defining holistic approach for
DOD microgrid capability; NAVFAC HQ is in process of developing
written requirements for DON REPO is providing recommendations for
eventual integration of on-base renewables into microgrid
capability to enhance energy security
