MCLB Albany first in DOD to
achieve Net Zero energy milestone
TITLE PAWN
Special to the Ledger
The day is more than
a decade in the making,
and involved the efforts
of dozens at Marine
Corps Logistics Base
Albany. It has been on
the minds of officials
from throughout the
Department of Defense
for some time.
MCLB Albany can
now call itself an elec
trically “Net Zero” base.
It is the first installation
in the Department of
Defense to meet this
energy-efficiency mile
stone.
“MCLB Albany not
only provides strategic
value to Marine Corps
warfighters through sus
tainment and modern
ization, but now boasts
the impressive achieve
ment of the first Net
Zero installation in the
Department of Defense,”
Marine Corps Com
mandant Gen. David
H. Berger said. “This is
the result of years-long
efforts of hard working
leaders at the base.”
Net Zero is defined
as the production of as
much electricity from re
newable “green” energy
sources as it consumes
from its utility provider.
“This is tremendous
work by everyone on
base,” Col. Michael
Fitzgerald, commanding
officer, MCLB Albany,
said. “The base can be
self-reliant in terms of
energy with the resourc
es we have available.
The taxpayer gets a
break.”
It also provides MCLB
Albany a buffer to fall
back on when natural
disasters, like the EF3
tornado that struck the
base in January 2017,
knocks down electrical
infrastructure.
“MCLB Albany is the
first installation in the
entire Department of
Defense to achieve Net
Zero energy, generating
more energy than it con
sumes by implementing
a range of climate friend
ly solutions,” Secretary
of the Navy Carlos Del
Toro said. “I am proud of
the work accomplished
at MCLB Albany work
ing in close coordination
with a variety of partners
in making this base more
resilient, saving of tax
payer dollars, and being
better equipped to fulfill
its primary mission:
ensuring Marines around
the world have what they
need to fight and win.”
This is an achievement
leadership on the high
est levels of the Marine
Corps are proud to capi
talize on.
“The Marine Corps is
proactively investing in
efficient new facilities
infrastructure through
partnerships with private
industry to improve the
energy security pos
ture of its installations
and to deliver energy
resilient capabilities,”
Marine Corps Installa
tions Command Public
Works Director Walter
Ludwig said. “This
means our installations
will be able to maintain
essential functions and
critical services during
a prolonged outage, en
suring the success of the
warfighter.”
“MCLB Albany’s
load-shedding and peak
shaving capabilities,
island-mode operations
and innovative energy
technologies, including
a biomass steam turbine,
landfill gas generators
and advanced micro-grid
controls make it a
leader in simultaneously
achieving ‘Net Zero’
climate and energy re
silience goals,” Ludwig
added.
While reaching to
new heights in terms
of energy savings, this
accomplishment sets an
example for other instal
lations to follow.
PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE
The City of Leesburg, Georgia will conduct
a public hearing regarding the proposed
fiscal year 2023 budget. The Public Hear
ing will be held on June 14, 2022 at 6:00
p.m. in the Council Chambers at City Hall
located at 107 Walnut Avenue North.
“To me, it is a great
way other bases can look
at the various definitions
of Net Zero,” Fitzgerald
said. “In natural disas
ters we can stand alone
and accomplish our
mission.”
The benefit to the
taxpayers is significant,
even if they cannot see it.
“We were spending
millions on energy. Now
we are dropping down
significantly,” Fitzgerald
said. “Our system is built
in such a manner that
on the rare days we pull
from the grid, it is not a
drain.”
The concept, when ex
ported to other stations,
is most effective when
tailored to the resources
the location that station
has in its surrounding
area. Some regions, for
instance, do better with
wind, while solar works
best for others.
“You have to customize
it to the installation,”
Fitzgerald said.
Among those to put in
a significant amount of
effort was Hubert “Ski”
Smigelski. Smigelski is
now retired, but until
recently served as the
deputy director for the
base’s Installation and
Environmental Division.
The goal set forth by
the Secretary of the
Navy in 2010 was to
have half the bases under
SECNAV’s authority at
Net Zero.
