SUBJECT: Metrics and Standards for Energy Resilience at Military Installations

This memorandum implements the requirements of title 10, U.S.C., section 2911(a), by establishing metrics and standards for the assessment of energy resilience pursuant to section 2911(b)(1). The purpose of these metrics and standards is to ensure the energy resilience of Department of Defense (DoD) military installations. It fulfills, in part, the responsibility of the Secretary under section 2911 and incorporates the new requirements within title 10, U.S.C., section 2920, which was added by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021.

As discussed in the 2018 National Defense Strategy, the variety and velocity of global threats continue to rapidly evolve. The homeland is no longer a sanctuary, and we must anticipate potential attacks and mitigate risks to our critical defense, government, and economic infrastructure. In this environment, maintaining secure access to energy resources is critical to the execution of DoD missions, and ensuring energy resilience at our installations is a top priority.

DoD Instruction (DoDI) 4170.11, Installation Energy Management, requires DoD components to take necessary steps to plan and have the capability to ensure available, reliable, and quality power to continuously accomplish critical DoD missions from our installations. To that end, the attachment to this memorandum provides metrics and standards for assessing energy resilience, and includes supporting policy, guidance, and reporting requirements. This memorandum and its attachment apply to all permanent and enduring installations worldwide.

This memorandum replaces and cancels a memorandum of the same title dated February 25, 2020. The provisions of this memorandum and its attachment will be incorporated into the relevant DoD issuances at their next revision, such as DoDI 4170.11. The DoD Components shall take immediate action to implement this memorandum and its attachment.

METRICS AND STANDARDS FOR ASSESSMENT OF ENERGY RESILIENCE,

SUPPORTING POLICY, GUIDANCE, AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

I. POLICY

It is DoD policy that:

Pursuant to 10 U.S.C. § 2911(a), the DoD Components shall plan and program for the provision of energy resilience and energy security for DoD installations.

Pursuant to 10 U.S.C. § 2911(a), the DoD Components shall, by the end of fiscal year 2030, provide that 100 percent of the energy load required to maintain the critical missions of each DoD installation have a minimum level of availability of at least 99.9 percent per fiscal year, or higher availability as this memorandum provides.

The DoD Components shall perform energy resilience assessments of energy systems for critical missions and supporting infrastructure in support of mission readiness on all permanent and enduring installations.

II. METRICS AND STANDARDS.

The following requirements constitute the metrics and standards for the achievement of energy resilience at permanent and enduring installations:

Planning and programming for energy resilience and energy security shall — o promote the use of multiple and diverse sources of energy, with an emphasis favoring energy resources originating on the installation such as modular generation;

o promote the installation of cyber-resilient microgrids to ensure the energy security and energy resilience of critical missions;

o favor the use of full-time, installed energy sources rather than emergency generation;

o by the end of fiscal year 2030, provide that 100 percent of the energy load required to maintain the critical missions of each DoD installation have a minimum level of availability of 99.9 percent per fiscal year, or higher availability as this memorandum provides;

o provide for a minimum of 14 days of energy disruption, unless otherwise prescribed by the military department or other departmental guidance;

o ensure the minimum level of energy availability standards within this policy are applied to both steady state operations and for the purposes of energy resilience during a disruption to operations;

o ensure mission and economic trade off analyses are conducted to prioritize technology solutions based on the requirements set forth in this policy;

o include black start exercises as required by law and policy;

o include adequate sustainment resources to maintain real property investments and ensure the safe operation and testing of energy infrastructure;

o promote regular maintenance, testing, and disruption prevention practices related to onsite energy systems, including backup generators;

o identify different time horizons for different phases of planning; and o base decisions on a risk analyses of threats and hazards to meet mission needs.

Planning and programming shall identify each of the following for each DoD installation based on the installation’s own determination using an operational risk management framework to assess hazard probability and severity:

o The critical missions of and supported by the installation.

o The energy requirements of those critical missions located on, or supported by, the installation.

o The duration those energy requirements are likely to be needed in the event of a disruption or emergency.

o The current source of primary energy provided to those critical missions.

o The duration that the currently provided energy would likely be available in the event of a disruption or emergency.

o Any currently available sources of energy that would provide uninterrupted energy to critical missions in the event of a disruption or emergency, and the likely duration those sources would be available.

o Documentation that available energy sources have been adjudicated and prioritized for use among dependent missions.

o Alternative sources of energy that are not currently available but could be developed to provide uninterrupted energy to critical missions in the event of a disruption or emergency.

o Alternative means of executing the mission as needed.

Energy resilience assessments shall utilize the information developed for planning and programming and apply the other metrics and standards provided in section III to determine whether the installation meets the standards and requirements established in DoD Instruction

4170.11 and this memorandum for energy resilience.

o Such assessments shall either demonstrate compliance with the standards and requirements or identify where, and under what circumstances, the installation’s energy and power systems are not in compliance.

o Such assessments shall include black start exercises that test installation energy systems by completely separating the installation from the primary source of power for periods designed to evaluate the ability of the installation to perform critical missions without such resources. Such exercises and tests may exclude, if technically feasible, housing areas, commissaries, exchanges, and morale, welfare, and recreation facilities.

At the installation level, DoD Components shall identify (1) any risks of noncompliance identified during the assessments, (2) the costs projected to remediate such risks, and (3) progress to remediate risks that have been identified during assessments.

10 U.S.C. § 2920(a)(2) provides that the Secretary of Defense shall issue standards establishing levels of availability relative to specific critical missions, with such standards providing a range of not less than 99.9 percent availability per fiscal year and not more than

99.9999 percent availability per fiscal year, depending on the criticality of the mission.

Pursuant to 10 U.S.C. § 2920, energy availability standards for DoD installations are established as follows:

o For any operational headquarters facility, airfield and supporting infrastructure, harbor facility supporting naval vessels, munitions production and storage facility, radar, space launch facility, or operational communications facility that is determined to be a critical mission, the minimum level of availability shall be 99.999 percent per fiscal year.

o For any missile field, ballistic missile early warning radar, satellite control facility, cyber operations facility, or biological defense facility that is determined to be a critical mission, the minimum level of availability shall be 99.9999 percent per fiscal year.

In applying the minimum energy availability standards in this policy memorandum, DoD Components should consider their unique operational requirements to ensure the cost effectiveness of meeting mission requirements. For example, considerations should include whether a facility or infrastructure is performing the critical mission specified or if the critical mission will be performed at an alternative location when an energy disruption occurs. If the critical mission will be performed at the alternative location, the minimum energy availability standards shall apply to those alternative locations.

III. DETAILED PROCEDURES FOR DEVELOPING ENERGY RESILIENCE

ASSESSMENTS

The following constitute additional metrics and standards for developing energy resilience assessments in order to comply with the metrics and standards set forth in Section II.

A. Critical energy load requirements.

DoD Components shall clearly define, identify, and update critical energy loads that align to critical missions. Critical energy loads shall be developed in collaboration with operators, tenants, and critical mission owners on military installations. Per DoDI 4170.11, Components shall incorporate defense critical infrastructure (DCI)1 and supporting infrastructure when developing critical energy loads to ensure compliance with this memorandum. Components can compute their critical energy loads through an engineering facility energy load analysis or from metering data. Load assessments also should include time-derived requirements as appropriate to support mission changes in contingency situations. Critical energy requirements, to include critical energy loads, shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis through the Annual Energy Management Resilience Report (AEMRR) reporting process in accordance with 10 U.S.C. § 2925(a).

Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) specifications 2 provide definitions and guidance to assist in the determination of critical electric and thermal energy loads and to conduct facility energy load analyses. The critical energy requirements identified by DoD Components shall be

1 For further guidance, see DCI Level of Effort (LOE) Security Classification Guide (SCG) and Baseline Elements of Information for Missions Assurance. DCI includes defense critical assets and task critical assets.

2 See UFC 3-501-01, Electrical Engineering and UFC 3-540-01, Engine-Driven Generator Systems for Backup Power Applications for electrical loads, and UFC 3-401-01, Mechanical Engineering, UFC 3-410-01, HVAC, UFC 3-420-01, Plumbing, UFC 3-430-08N, Central Boiler Plants, and 3-400-02, Engineering Weather Data for calculating non-electric energy loads (steam, hot water, water and wastewater) for specific systems.

used to determine energy generation systems, infrastructure, equipment, fuel, testing, and exercising requirements for successful achievement of energy resilience.

Metered data may be available in varying degrees of accuracy to construct critical energy load profiles. In the event that critical energy loads are centralized on a DoD installation (e.g., main feeder), an aggregate reading of critical loads can be used to determine the projected and actual (i.e., tested) requirements of the loads in island mode.

If metered data is unavailable or incomplete, energy load analysis procedures are provided within UFC and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) guidance. For example, UFC 3-501-013 provides demand data tables in its Appendix D, which can be used to calculate an original basis of design.

However, this initial basis of design may not be sufficient for energy load analysis in island mode. Energy load analysis for islanded operations should be conducted in accordance with IEEE 1547.4,4 Clause 5. The energy load analysis should evaluate historical demand profiles in order to identify step loads, motor loads, and the projected and actual (i.e., tested) requirements in island mode. Additionally, it is important that energy load analysis be conducted for both grid-connected and island modes.

B. Energy availability calculation.

Availability refers to the availability of required energy at a stated instant of time or over a stated period of time for a specific purpose. A stated period of time should align to the DoD Component’s mission, such as annually for steady state operations or over 14 days for the purposes of providing energy resilience when operations are disrupted.

Availability is measured as follows:

Availability = Uptime

Uptime + Downtime

Uptime is the length of time the critical mission operation requires energy throughout the year, and downtime is the length of time the critical mission operation can tolerate before mission failure occurs. The uptime and downtime hours based on mission risk are metrics to help determine mission availability.

For modern critical facilities, the typical benchmark availability ranges from 99.999% (“five nines”) to 99.9999% (“six nines”)5. Table 1 shows mission availability associated with different downtimes, assuming total mission time over the course of one year is 8,760 hours (24

hrs. x 365 days). In order to achieve five-nines level of availability, mission downtime cannot exceed approximately five minutes per year. For a six-nines level of availability, that number is approximately 30 seconds per year.

Table 1: Mission availability for different down times (annual)

Uptime (hrs) Downtime (Days:Hrs:Mins:Sec) Mission Availability (%)

8751.24 0:8:45:36 99.9%

8759.12 0:0:52:34 99.99%

8759.91 0:0:5:15 99.999%

8759.99 0:0:0:31 99.9999%

Similarly, Table 2 shows mission availability associated with downtimes over a 14-day period (or total mission time of 336 hours). In order to achieve five-nines level of availability, mission downtime cannot exceed approximately seconds over 14 days. For a six-nines level of availability, that number is approximately 1 second over 14 days.

Table 2: Mission availability for different down times (14 days)

Uptime (hrs) Downtime (Mins:Sec) Mission Availability (%)

335.664 20:09 99.9%

335.9664 2:01 99.99%

335.9966 0:12 99.999%

335.9997 0:01 99.9999%

C. Energy reliability.

Energy reliability refers to the ability of a component or system to perform required functions under stated conditions for a stated period of time. Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standard 3006.8-20186 contains reliability data for equipment used in power systems which can help inform reporting on mission availability. However, while reliability data for equipment is associated with system reliability metrics, system reliability metrics do not take into account mission-based risks. DoD installations shall consider mission-based risks in their downtime measures when developing critical energy requirements. Of special importance, the calculation of reliability will consider the volume over length of time required of supporting fuels; even the best infrastructure can adequately address risk only if the supporting fuel supply is both secure and available from both a cyber and physical perspective.

Energy reliability and power quality impact DoD installations and help determine mission availability for energy resilience measurement. Both power quality and reliability affect energy resilience and mission availability. Further, outage information and data provide an avenue to

6 IEEE Standard 3006.8-2018: Recommended Practice for Analyzing Reliability Data for Equipment Used in Industrial and Commercial Power Systems.

help capture energy resilience performance to determine mission availability. Therefore, it is important for military installations to provide accurate outage data through the AEMRR data call to ensure energy resilience at DoD installations. Table 2 provides details and describes the differences between energy reliability and energy resilience (mission availability).

Table 3: Energy reliability and mission availability comparison

Measurement Area Metric / Measure/ Requirement Energy Reliability System availability o Planned versus unplanned outages Reliability response time Condition assessment (life safety) Inventory changes

Energy Resilience Mission Availability* = Uptime Uptime + Downtime

*This metric does not constitute a “system” availability metric; rather it should represent a mission requirement (critical load) that identifies an energy capability metric. Uptime and Downtime are measured at the critical energy load level vice the utility system level.

D. Systems design for energy resilience.

DoD Components shall identify, design, and install primary and backup power, to include emergency, standby, and critical operations power systems, as well as infrastructure, equipment, and fuel to support critical energy requirements.

Energy resilience solutions are not limited to traditional backup power systems or generators, nor are those traditional backup systems or generators favored. Energy resilience solutions can and should include integrated, distributed, renewable energy sources, energy storage, generation capable of accepting multiple fuel sources, quick connects for portable generation, and microgrids and centralized generation; diversified or alternative fuel supplies;

relocating missions to alternative locations; and upgrading, replacing, and maintaining current energy systems, infrastructure, and equipment on DoD installations. Alternative locations that require energy in the event of an energy disruption or emergency also shall be subject to energy resilience requirements, to include minimum energy availability standards.

When selecting distributed or renewable energy systems and backup generators for energy resilience, they shall be properly designed to have the ability to prepare for and recover from energy disruptions that degrade mission readiness. Their design should include automatic, cyber-resilient transfer switching, inverters, and black start capabilities to minimize energy resilience risks. DoD Components shall also determine fueling or storage requirements for the selected energy generation systems. DoD Components shall follow relevant UFCs for safe and cost effective designs of energy generation systems that minimize energy resilience risks when complying with requirements stated in this memorandum.

DoD Components shall ensure that primary power and backup power systems, infrastructure, equipment, and fuel that support their critical energy requirements receive the necessary maintenance. At a minimum, DoD Components shall maintain primary power and backup power systems according to their technical specifications and ensure that there is a trained operator assigned to maintain the energy generation system, infrastructure, equipment, and fuel.

DoD Components shall ensure that trained operators have the appropriate credentials to operate unclassified and classified energy systems, infrastructure, equipment, and fuel. DoD Components also shall develop and update fueling plans and ensure that fueling contracts are in place. DoD Components shall consult the Defense Logistics Agency Energy (DLA) or local service providers when determining their fueling requirements.

E. Testing and Exercising.

The Military Departments and Defense Agencies shall comply with 10 U.S.C. § 2920(d)(2) requirements for black start exercises, with each Military Department and Defense Agency scheduled to conduct such an exercise on a number of installations each year sufficient to allow that Military Department or Defense Agency to meet the goals of 10 U.S.C. § 2920(d)(2), but in any event not fewer than five installations each year for each Military Department through fiscal year 2027. The Assistant Secretary of Defense for Sustainment will establish a schedule for performance of black start exercises in collaboration with the Military Departments and Defense Agencies. Black start exercises shall be conducted in accordance with the schedule, notwithstanding any other provision of law. No such exercise shall last longer than five days.

Military Departments and Defense Agencies shall coordinate on any black start exercise prior to its occurrence.

DoD Components shall conduct black start exercises, and full-scale and routine testing of backup generators, energy generation systems, infrastructure, equipment, and fuel that support their critical energy requirements, in accordance with DoD Instruction 4170.11, Installation Energy Management. Additional guidance for table-top and black start exercises is provided in Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense (Environment and Energy Resilience) (DASD(E&ER)) guidance, A Framework for Planning and Executing Black Start Exercises and Energy Resilience Tabletop Exercise (ERTTX) Framework.

F. Execution and implementation of energy resilience.

DoD Components shall review and assess the vulnerability of their installations to energy disruptions as outlined in this document, and implement remedial actions to remove unacceptable energy resilience risks. The types of assessments and tools DoD Components can use to identify and remediate risks, include, but are not limited to, installation energy plans, energy resilience assessments, tabletop exercises, and black start exercises. As a result of these reviews and assessments, DoD Components shall provide energy projects which remediate energy resilience risks during the planning, programming, budgeting, and execution (PPBE) process. These energy projects shall be pursued based on life cycle cost effectiveness, whether they remove unacceptable energy resilience risks or accelerate adoption of low-carbon alternative energy.

Additionally, DoD Components shall ensure energy resilience projects have been coordinated with Federal, State, and local community partners to consider the impacts of and advance energy resilience priorities. In accordance with available statutory authority, DoD Components also are encouraged to use alternative financing in the pursuit of energy resilience projects, when it is life cycle cost effective. DoD Components should review existing DoD policy and guidance in the pursuit of alternatively financed projects. Per DoD Instruction 4170.11, DoD Components shall also use National Institute of Standards and Technology Handbook 135, Life Cycle Costing Manual to determine life cycle cost effectiveness.

Further, DoD Components shall review and consider their real property inventory submissions for alignment to 10 U.S.C. § 2911 and § 2920 energy resilience requirements. DoD Components shall ensure that real property inventory energy resilience investments are consistent with Title 10 requirements for sustainment funding and facility sustainment model (FSM) resourcing considerations. DoD Components also shall ensure alignment of critical missions, facilities, generation systems, infrastructure, equipment, and fuel requirements to Title 10 requirements in their real property submissions to ensure energy resilience risks are remediated.

For example, facility asset code (FAC) 8112 is for stand-by/emergency power. Other important FACs such as 8111 (electric power generation plant), 8113 (hydroelectric plant), 8114 (wind generation), and 8115 (photovoltaic generation) from the Real Property Classification System can be used to inform reporting. DoD installations should note that information and data must be reported into the real property inventory for consideration of FSM and sustainment funding.

Per DoD Instruction 4170.11, the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Sustainment shall issue supporting implementing, technical, or budgetary guidance to assist DoD Components to prioritize energy resilience, and shall update and provide energy resilience guidance, as needed.

IV. ENERGY RESILIENCE REPORTING

A. Reporting.

Reporting shall be conducted for all permanent and enduring installations as part of the AEMRR data call. Data and information will be included in the AEMRR and shall be submitted to the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) through routine DoD Component AEMRR submissions. Detailed installation energy resilience information should be documented in Installation Energy Plans (IEPs) required by the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Energy, Installations, and Environment Memorandum: “Installation Energy Plans – Energy Resilience and Cybersecurity Update and Expansion of the Requirement to All DoD Installations,” dated May 30, 2018. In addition, pursuant to 10 U.S.C. § 2920(d)(1)(B), any data to conduct monitoring, measuring, and testing of energy resilience shall be made available to the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Sustainment upon request.

B. Protecting classified and controlled unclassified information (CUI).

To the maximum extent practicable, DoD Components should submit unclassified information and data the Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Environment and Energy Resilience (ODASD(E&ER)). 10 U.S.C. § 2925(a) submit classified information and data to the congressional defense committees. If DoD Components submit classified information or data, they shall coordinate the classified submission with their operations security manager and the OSD point of contact.

The submitting point of contact or office of primary responsibility shall ensure all energy resilience data and related information are properly marked and protected in accordance with DCI SCG, DoD operations security directives, instructions, and manuals, including DoD Directive 5205.02E; DoD Instructions 3020.45, 5200.01, and 5230.24; and DoD Manual 5205.02-M.

DoD Instruction 5230.24 allows for limited distribution markings to protect information and technical data that provide insight into vulnerabilities of U.S. critical infrastructure, including DoD warfighting capabilities vital to national security that are otherwise not publicly available.

DoD Components shall consider the appropriate uses of limited distribution markings on their submission in accordance with DoD security guidance.

There are six relevant categories of CUI data defined by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA): Controlled Technical Information (CTI), Critical Infrastructure (CRIT), DoD Critical Infrastructure Security Information (DCRIT), Critical Energy Infrastructure Information (CEII), Physical Security (PHYS), and Protected Critical Infrastructure Information (PCII).
