Energy and Infrastructure Resilience

Advancing Energy Resilience and Efficiency

Client:

Navy – NAVFAC Southwest

Challenge

With installations across the Southwest, Marine Corps Installations West (MCI-West) and Navy Region Southwest (NRSW) face growing demands to improve energy and water efficiency, enhance resilience, and protect critical infrastructure from cyber and operational risks. MCI-West and NRSW selected Lindahl Reed to provide hands-on energy management, technical leadership, and strategic planning to comply with evolving federal mandates and mitigate regional grid vulnerabilities.

Our Solution

Lindahl Reed delivers full-spectrum Resource Efficiency Management (REM) services to MCI-West and NRSW installations. We identify and program mission-aligned energy and water conservation projects, strengthening installation energy resilience and supporting readiness through technical analysis and planning. Key services include:

  • Policy and Planning Leadership: Deliver strategic energy and water policy development at the installation level.
  • Data-Driven System Analysis: Analyze data from systems including Facility-Related Control Systems (FRCS), Building Automation Systems (BAS), Utility Monitoring and Control Systems (UMCS), Energy Management Control Systems (EMCS), Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), and Defense Utility Energy Reporting System (DUERS).
  • Resilience Assessment and Testing: Conduct resilience assessments and Energy Resilience Readiness Exercises (ERRE).
  • Black Start Preparedness: Support and design tabletop Black Start Exercises (BSE).
  • Project Programming and Funding Support: Develop project programming documentation including Department of Defense Form DD1391s, Life-Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA), Energy Return on Investment (eROI), Independent Government Estimate (IGE), and grant and rebate applications to support funding and implementation.
  • Technical Oversight for Implementation: Perform Measurement and verification (M&V) plan validation, design reviews, and construction oversight.

Lindahl Reed supports microgrid planning and implementation, including integration of onsite generation, energy storage including battery energy storage systems (BESS), and controls that improve base resilience and regional grid stability.

Results & Impact

  • Enabled Mission-Critical Microgrid Deployment: Provided critical technical support for MCAS Miramar microgrid, enhancing base resilience and supporting the local utility during grid stress.
  • Secured Investment for Load Shedding: Supported Energy Resilience and Conservation Investment Program (ERCIP) proposal for microgrid-enabled HVAC load shedding across 77 buildings.
  • Fostered Strategic Energy Partnerships: Collaborated extensively with the California Energy Commission, National Renewable Energy Laboratory, San Diego Gas & Electric, Southern California Edison, and the City of San Diego.
  • Delivered Deep Energy Retrofits: Advanced deep energy retrofits to reduce utility costs, improve reliability, and enhance occupant comfort.
  • Built a Resilience-Cybersecurity Framework: Developed and implemented a comprehensive resilience framework incorporating cyber risk mitigation and advanced analytics.

Why It Matters

Lindahl Reed enables MCI-W and NRSW installations to transform resilience strategy into tangible, mission assured energy solutions. Our REM support builds sustainable readiness, lowers operational risk, and positions installations as national leaders in energy innovation, energy resilience, and grid-interactive infrastructure.
