Energy Consumption Goals. Reduce Coast Guard facility energy consumption 20% by FY
2005 from FY 1995 levels. All other requirements of the Energy Policy Act of 1992, 10
CFR 436, and Executive Order 12902 shall be carried out. Exemption from the mandated
reduction targets for facilities which are by nature energy intensive may be approved by
Commandant G-SEC once identified. While not subject to mandated targets, exempted
facilities will still proactively strive to improve energy efficiencies where available.
5.
BACKGROUND. The importance of managing energy resources has been accentuated recently
by the overall downward trend in the resources available to perform our many missions.
Comprising approximately one in every six of the Coast Guard's operating and maintenance
dollars, energy dollars saved can be put to work elsewhere. Increased energy efficiency is just
good business sense. The Coast Guard is required by law to reduce its overall energy
consumption and to minimize the use of petroleum fuels in all its facilities and platforms.
Surveys indicate significant potential for energy savings through investments in engineering and
retrofits to our existing facilities. There is further potential for savings on our operational
platforms through increased emphasis on fuel economy, selection of lower cost fuels that meet
power plant specifications, and better logistics and operational planning.
6.
ORGANIZATION. Every Coast Guard member and employee bears responsibility for being
good stewards of our energy resources. Furthermore, dependents in Coast Guard family housing
also have a responsibility to guard against wasteful energy use. Energy efficiency and
conservation can only be successful if every member considers it his or her own responsibility.
a.
HEADQUARTERS.
(1)
Coast Guard Energy Program Director (G-CFP). The Director of Finance and
Procurement (G-CFP) shall lead and oversee the Coast Guard's energy program to
meet Commandant directed goals and comply with federally mandated targets. The
Energy Program Director will champion energy efficiency at the most senior
management levels. He will promulgate applicable energy policy that will frame
direction of energy management efforts at all levels.
(2)
Coast Guard Energy Program Manager. As a staff element of G-CFP, the Coast
Guard's Energy Program Manager will manage overall day-to-day program direction
and provide guidance as appropriate on energy issues and resources. Other
responsibilities will include management of all Coast Guard AFC-30 energy funds,
approval of Facility Energy Efficiency Funds (FEEF) projects, and development of
applicable training curriculums and sponsorship as funding allows. He will serve as
primary Coast Guard point of contact on energy policy and resource issues.
