The Defense Logistics Agency Energy Fiscal Year 2021 Fact Book is online!
DLA Energy is the only DLA Major Subordinate Command that publishes an annual report containing a snapshot of the facts, figures, and financial information from the previous fiscal year.
The fact book is prized for its thorough overview of the organization, structure and supporting business units as well as detailed information on sales, cost, inventory, contract actions and programs.
“In 2021, DLA Energy continued to deliver world-class warfighter support, overcoming significant obstacles like the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, natural disasters, a cyber-attack of a key U.S. pipeline, and the end of the Afghanistan War,” said DLA Energy Commander Air Force Brig. Gen. Jimmy Canlas in the Commander’s Update on page 8 of the book. “Our DLA Energy personnel responded with unrivaled professionalism through innovation and creative solutions.”
In 2021, DLA Energy sold more than 87 million barrels of fuel to its customers valued at more than $8.8 billion. Broken down, that’s $4.5 billion for the Air Force; $2.7 billion for the Navy; $780 million for the Army, $30 million for the Marine Corps; and $566 million for other defense and government agencies.

Some highlights for the year include:
- DLA invited more than 8,000 suppliers to participate in the second DLA Supplier Satisfaction Survey. Participants were asked to rate DLA Energy on a scale between 1 and 5, and our average rating was 3.57, which is 0.31 higher than in 2018 and 0.16 higher than DLA’s average. In fact, our average was higher than the 2018 ratings in every category and factor. Learn more on page 15 of the book.
- DLA Energy’s International Fuel Agreements team signed new fuel exchange agreements with Lithuania, India, Romania, Estonia, and the United Kingdom in 2021 bringing the total of fuel agreements with allies around the world to 43. Synchronized with DLA Energy regional offices, these fuel agreements help ensure U.S. warfighters and our allies have cost-efficient, reliable fuel available around the world wherever their mission takes them.

- Installation Energy helped contract Energy Savings Performance Contracts at Cannon Air Force Base, New Mexico, and U.S. Coast Guard Training Center Petaluma, California. These two contracts alone will provide energy conservation upgrades and improvements like solar array installations that will reduce power grid reliance and energy consumption saving a combined $2.4 million per year. Learn more on page 54 of the book.
- The Facility Sustainment Directorate, in conjunction with the Military Services and Military Construction Agents, allocated $902.6 million to improve fuels infrastructure across the globe. This is the most money invested in a single year in support of the fuels infrastructure since DLA assumed the SRM mission in the mid-1990s. Learn more on page 71 of the book.
- DLA Energy Aerospace delivered space launch/satellite propellants and bulk industrial chemicals and gases in support of many missions including NASA’s Perseverance rover which landed on Mars in February 2021. As the DOD Integrated Materiel Manager for space and space-related products since 2001, DLA Energy provides 28 different product sources for DOD, federal, commercial, and research missions.

- DLA Energy Middle East played a significant role in the conclusion of America’s longest war. In August 2021, the team not only met the increased demand for fuel to support the heightened aircraft operational requirements in support of the Afghanistan final drawdown and the evacuation operations of Operation Allies Refuge, but also successfully decapitalized DLA Energy Defense Fuel Support Points in Bagram and Kabul due to the Operation FREEDOM’S SENTINEL drawdown/retrograde.
