Mission
Identify installation energy needs and deliver innovative energy resilience solutions that ensure Department of the Air Force installations worldwide have dependable access to power and water.
Vision
Secure Department of the Air Force warfighter superiority with the world's most resilient energy and water infrastructure through innovative, cost-effective, and climate-informed solutions.
Organization
The Department of the Air Force requires access to reliable, resilient energy to power installations and ensure mission success. The Air Force Office of Energy Assurance (AF OEA) faces energy challenges head on with impactful solutions that close energy resilience gaps and strengthen our nation’s Air Force and Space Force installations at home and abroad. By leveraging the expertise of the energy community, AF OEA builds tailored energy solutions for each installation that are resilient, innovative, cost-effective, and climate-informed.
AF OEA combines the resilience project development processes that were previously in AFCEC/OEA with the execution processes housed within AFCEC/CN. In the spirit of continuous improvement, the Air Force Civil Engineering Center (AFCEC) created AF OEA to create deeper integration and interconnection to increase efficiencies, expedite project execution and benefit Air Force resilience efforts. AF OEA is geographically separated from AFCEC headquarters (JBSA Lackland, TX) and operates in three locations including Tyndall AFB, Pentagon, and Denver, CO. The organization is led by a Civilian Director and Deputy Director and houses eight divisions.
Measurement and Analysis Division (CNA)
The CNA division provides data analysis and reporting capabilities focusing on AF energy, water consumption, and cost as the AF Energy Functional Lead for the NexGen IT Civil Engineer enterprise database. This division combines various data sources to build the AF Annual Energy Performance, Resilience and Readiness report.
Program Development Division (CND)
The CND division coordinates completion and maintenance of Installation Energy Plans (IEPs) to document energy resilience gaps on DAF installations. This division also develops and advocates for energy resilience projects to fill gaps identified in IEPs.
Program Execution Division (CNE)
The CNE division delivers acquisition and execution of Energy Savings, Construction and Conservation projects to ensure energy resilience across the Department of the Air Force installations. This division interfaces directly with procuring contracting officers and administrative contracting officers to define and implement contract acquisition strategies in support of energy program execution.
Business Operations Division (CNO)
The CNO division identifies installation energy needs and delivers innovative energy resilience solutions to ensure Department of the Air Force installations worldwide have dependable access to power and water. This division also supports efforts related to manpower and continuous process improvement.
Advanced Meter Reading Systems Division (CNP)
The CNP division supports Advanced Meter Reading Systems (AMRS) efforts and leads the DAF’s expert in organizing Civil Engineer Control System data. The team’s objective is to establish processes and controls to ensure Civil Engineer Control System information is ready to: empower data-based decisions, give mission owners a dynamic status of facility systems, and near real time monitoring of utility to ensure energy assurance requirements are met. This division also leads efforts to organize standardized data for DAF and OSD level as well as catalog standardized DAF level alerts, anomalies and alarm inside control systems to feed asset management decisions.
Rates and Resilience Division (CNR)
The CNR division provides expert guidance to installations on utility rate management and acquisitions for electric, natural gas, water, and wastewater, assisting in negotiating utility service with optimal pricing, terms, and conditions. This division provides training to AF installations on utilities reimbursements by specifically calculating resales rates to recoup O&M funds from tenant organizations for mission enhancement.
Special Projects Division (CNS)
The CNS division develops and delivers to prove the viability of new resilience solutions and ensure pilot projects connect innovation to DAF needs. This division focuses on pioneering initiatives that equip leadership and installations with new capabilities and proof points to drive success.
Advance Technologies Division (CNT)
The CNT division works to develop relationships with public, private, and academic leaders in energy/water to develop the technical and financial viability of early to late-stage energy resilient technologies and business models. This division transitions with current and emerging Air Force mission needs consistent with public policy, new acquisitions, funding pathways, and demonstration projects.
