Coal Program
Installation Energy serves as the centralized procurement agent for the procurement, testing and delivery of coal to DoD and federal civilian agencies in the continental U.S. The coal program awards both single and multi-year contracts. The program is also currently supporting the delivery of bituminous and subbituminous coal annually to the Army, Navy, Air Force and various federal civilian locations. For more information on the coal program, please contact dlaenergy.coalteam@dla.mil.
Natural Gas
Installation Energy is DoD’s central procurement agency for direct supply natural gas. It's DoD’s policy to competitively acquire direct supply natural gas under the natural gas program when cost effective and the program has the same degree of supply reliability as other practical alternative energy sources. For more information on the natural gas program, please contact dlaenergy.ngteam@dla.mil.
Electricity Program
Installation Energy executes competitive acquisition of retail open access for the DoD and federal civilian agencies in states that have implemented deregulation. DoD components are encouraged to partner with DLA Energy and aggregate regional electricity requirements to competitively procure electricity and ancillary services. For more information on the electricity program, please contact dlaenergy.eteam@dla.mil.
Demand Response
Installation Energy assists customers with enrollment in demand response programs in order to support grid reliability.
