The Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) has set forth five energy goals to reduce Department of the Navy's (DON's) overall consumption of energy, decrease its reliance on petroleum, and significantly increase its use of alternative energy. Meeting these goals requires that the Navy and Marine Corps value energy as a critical resource across maritime, aviation, expeditionary, and shore missions. DON's Energy Program for Security and Independence will lead the Navy and Marine Corps efforts to improve operational effectiveness while increasing energy security and advancing energy independence. DON will achieve the SECNAV goals by adopting energy efficient acquisition practices, technologies, and operations.
