INTRODUCTIONS
� Concept & Requirements for an
Installation Energy and Water Plan
(IEWP)
� What is Different about these Plans?
� Preparing an IEWP
� Overcoming Challenges
� What to Expect from an IEWP
� How to Use and Maintain it
TODAY’S DISCUSSION
RESILIENCY
The National Defense Authorization Act of 2019
“…anticipation, preparation for, and adaptation to utility disruptions and changing
environmental conditions and the ability to withstand, respond to, and recover rapidly
from utility disruptions while ensuring the sustainment of mission-critical operations.”
WHAT IS THE DRIVER?
INSTALLATION ENERGY PLANS (IEP) – ODASD (IE) MEMO
� “…drive a more integrated and systematic
approach to energy management through informed
energy planning.”
� IEPs required for ALL installations; Priority installations
and critical support infrastructure first
� Deliberate focus on energy/water resilience and
cybersecurity
� Leverage energy data to inform planning
� Energy & resilience requirements defined by mission
owner
� Prioritize critical missions
ARMY DIRECTIVE 2020-03
INSTALLATION ENERGY & WATER SECURITY POLICY
“to strengthen energy and water resilience to reduce the risk
to Army missions posed by utility disruptions affecting installations.”
� Identify and mitigate vulnerabilities and ensure critical missions continue through
any disruption of utility services
� Reduce risk to all other (noncritical) missions when it is life-cycle cost-effective
� Senior commander or higher HQ sets the duration of utility outage an
installation must sustain based on “timeframes to accomplish, curtail, or
relocate the critical mission(s)”
� When the duration of the critical mission(s) has not been stipulated, plan
to sustain energy and water for a minimum of 14 days.
� Resilience timeframes for supplies, facilities, and infrastructure may vary
across an installation based on critical mission requirements.
ARMY DIRECTIVE 2020-03
INSTALLATION ENERGY & WATER SECURITY POLICY (CONT.)
Justifying projects that support critical missions
� Determine the “most effective and efficient use of resources to close
the [resiliency] capability gap”
� Cost benefit analysis of a variety of feasible courses of action
� AR 11–18, The Cost and Economic Analysis Program
� Alleviates the requirement to show a cost savings (no LCCA)
Projects supporting noncritical missions
� “…take coordinated, prudent, and life-cycle cost-effective actions to
reduce risks from a disruption”
ARMY DIRECTIVE 2020-03 INSTALLATION ENERGY & WATER SECURITY POLICY (CONT.)
G-9 is responsible for:
Support programming and plan and track the execution of
resources to address …energy and water resilience
Promulgate/update guidance for installation energy and water
plans (IEWPs)
Maintaining energy and water resilience reporting through the
Installation Status Report—Mission Capacity (ISR-MC)
Commanders:
Document energy & water needs supporting critical missions
“Complete IEWPs that address risks to installation energy and water
resilience, with priority given to …supporting critical missions.”
ARMY GUIDANCE FOR IEWPS
Mandates Installation Energy and Water Plans (IEWPs) to comply with the ODASD (IE) Memo
Provides a robust “Guidance Document” for Plans
Being updated by G-9

IEWP BENEFIT
Seven plans into one
A “living” plan that should be reviewed and updated
Semi-annual performance metrics
Revise annually to align with work plans
Update every 5 years
Determines funding priorities
WHAT’S DIFFERENT IN AN IEWP?
IEWPS DRIVE A SHIFT IN THINKING
� Shift in thinking toward Resilience and Mission
Assurance Energy efficiency (pay-back and savings-to-investment ratio) projects
remain but primarily focused on resiliency projects driving ISR-MC
improvement
� Water is as important as Energy (if not more) Energy-Water nexus to survivability
Energy and water inverted pyramid
� Often Involves Privatized Systems Although a system is privatized it’s still essential to many ISR-MC criteria
DPWs may have lost personnel and knowledge; need to maintain strong
relationships

THE PLAN PROCESS – IDENTIFY REQUIREMENTS
Goals and Scoping
� Identify stakeholders
� Review existing plans
� Identify critical missions/facilities
� Establish resilience planning
goals
Baselining
� Collect baseline condition and
resource use
� Understand current ISR-MC
� Validate facilities and
infrastructure supporting critical
missions
� Determine energy and water
needs
� Critical Mission Sustainment
� Assured Access
� Infrastructure Condition
� Systems Operation
Click to edit Master title style
THE PLAN PROCESS – RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Assess Risk
� Identify hazards & threats and relative probabilities
� Identify E&W system hazards & threats
� Establish impact from E&W disruption
� Establish overall risk
Efficiency Opportunities
� Energy and water infrastructure
� Past practices and experiences (lessons learned)
� Energy and water efficiency / retrofits
� Operational practices
� Institutional policies, plans, or procedures

resiliency solutions
� Efficiency Strategies
� Best Management Practices
� Projects (physical)

INSTALLATION STATUS REPORT – MISSION CAPACITY
(ISR-MC) TOOL
ISR-MC tool calculates changes in the installation’s “resilience” ISR-
MC scores as projects are implemented.
These projected changes, along with other trades offs (cost,
funding type, etc.) are used to prioritize projects in the
implementation plan.
ENERGY AND WATER MODELING USING THE SMPL TOOL
Warehouses (demolish) Barracks &
Dining(planned)
Schools(Refurbish)
Master Map
Loads information on facilities
Existing facilities
Planned facilities
Facilities to be demolished
SMPL TOOL: COMPARE “AS-IS” TO FUTURE SCENARIOS
Baseline “Planned” or Future Base Case
SMPL TOOL: ASSESSES COMMUNITY-SCALE SYSTEMS
A cluster is a group of facilities and
systems selected by the user for supply
options
No Technology bias, use data and costs
for optimization
SMPL-NZP Tool calculates loads and uses
a database of distribution, supply, and
storage options
Optimization uses Mixed-Integer Linear
Programming (MILP using AMPL-CPLEX) to
meet the loads at the lowest cost.
SMPL TOOL: PROVIDES DECISION MAKING SUPPORT
Decentralized attractive when done building by building and allows for
“site energy” use reduction
Centralized systems allow for higher
energy security and flexibility
OUTCOMES AND LESSONS LEARNED
OVERCOMING CHALLENGES DURING PLAN PREPARATION
� Data collection
� Critical facility list
� Setting goals – ISR-MC, existing policy and installation specific
� ISR-MC data and simulations
� COVID travel restrictions
� Plan evaluation and project prioritization
� Propane injection plant for natural gas back-
up; peak shaving
� Add on-installation power generation (RICE,
PV, Trailer-mounted Generators, Batteries)
� Microgrid
� Metering & smart building controls upgrades
� Interconnecting substations; hardening of
substations
� Add diesel storage
� Bury critical electrical lines
EXAMPLE ENERGY PROJECTS

EXAMPLES WATER PROJECTS
� Water resiliency for key facilities, ex: dorms
and kennels
� Add water wells or add redundant water
system inter-connections
� Expand reclaimed water system
� Reduce/eliminate water losses
� Dry hydrants
� Meter and bill for water costs
EXAMPLES: BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES (BMPS)
Generator Management Plan
Readiness Improvements
Exercise utility outage scenarios
Generator
Data-driven Energy Conservation
Design New Critical Facilities for Passive Survivability
Expand Water Rights
Create Water Shortage Plans
Infrastructure Cybersecurity Task Force
Codifying processes; documenting institutional knowledge
IEWPS PROVIDE A VARIETY OF BENEFITS
� A shift in thinking toward resilience and mission assurance
� Installation-specific energy and water visions and goals
� Risk assessments based on current and future climate conditions
� Freshly vetted critical facilities lists
� Capabilities assessments and gap analyses
� Lists of new projects and best management practices for
installations to pursue and implement
LESSONS LEARNED: USE AND MAINTAIN THE IEWP
� The G9 sharepoint site has all the reports and template (government only)
� G9 is reviewing Army’s IEWP against standardized metrics
� Each installation has been very different; installations typically don’t know ahead the scope and the information we’re asking for
This is not another energy efficiency study
Need to target critical missions – what they are is scenario dependent
Tie IEWP projects to the ISR; improving the ISR is tied to Army funding the
projects
Simulate ISR where it is not reported provides insights to energy posture
$X in projects will improve your ISR score to XX
