Our Energy Goals

Assistant Secretary of the NavyAssistant Secretary of the Navy (Energy, Installations & Environment)(Energy, Installations & Environment)

USMC Experimental Forward Operating Base (ExFOB)

Clean, renewable technologies initially tested at ExFOB in Quantico, VA (March 2010)

The technologies were further tested at African Lion during war gaming exercises (May 2010)

India Company 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines trained with new technologies, then deployed to Afghanistan (September 2010)

Most recent round of testing was at 29 Palms in August 2011

Types of technology: Solar Portable Alternative Communication Energy System

(SPACES): Flexible solar systems

Ground Renewable Expeditionary Energy Systems (GREENS): Portable PV/batteries hybrid systems

PowerShade Solar Tent Shade: Tent canopies with flexible solar PVs

LED Lighting: Dramatically reducing the electricity requirements

USS Makin Island: First Demonstration Of Hybrid Electric Propulsion System In Surface Combatant To Expand Tactical Reach and Increase Fuel Efficiency Afloat

• Gas turbine propulsion plant meets all mission requirements

Commissioning

• Reducing class total ownership costs by phasing out conventional steam systems

Construction & Builders Trials

• Estimated $2M savings over predecessor steam ships

• Cost avoidance over service life at this rate will be $248M
