P 602 the Three Pillars of Energy Security (3 Pillars) was developed in 2017 standardize energy security performance benchmarks across the DON. The 3 Pillars satisfies the first step in the Energy Security Framework (ESF) implementation (set performance benchmarks) by defining objective, quantitative metrics that are rooted in existing codes and industry standards and providing minimum thresholds where applicable for installations to measure system performance.
Recognizing that installations cannot provide critical services to missions without secure energy and water, the 3-Pillars update provides new performance metrics and definitions to help form the basis of future installation resilience reporting. Additionally, this document includes best practices that can assist installations in improving system performance while acknowledging resource limitations, mission needs, and geographical diversity.
