About the Unit Energy Manager Program

The Unit Energy Manager (UEM) Program will lay the foundation for the implementation and adoption of an Energy Ethos throughout the Marine Corps. Through the program, one Marine or civilian in each tenant unit or organization on every installation will be appointed as the point of contact for energy issues to their unit leadership and fellow Marines. The UEM Program will provide Operational Commanders with greater visibility of resources, and assist the Marine Corps in spreading a culture of conservation across our installations.

The Energy Ethos is the shared vision that the efficient use of energy resources is a critical component of mission readiness. This vision supports the Marine Corps mission by ensuring energy resiliency, reducing facility operating costs, and fostering a culture of efficient energy usage throughout the Corps.
