Installation Energy Manager / Energy Conservation Officer Appointment Memorandum (ENERGY_MGR)
The Installation Energy Manager / Energy Conservation Officer appointment memorandum is an AR 25-50 compliant memorandum used to formally designate a Soldier or DA Civilian to serve as the unit's Installation Energy Manager / Energy Conservation Officer. It documents the appointee, references AR 420-1 (Army Facilities Management), and is signed by the commander.

When is the ENERGY_MGR memo needed?
Most Army units appoint a Installation Energy Manager / Energy Conservation Officer (ENERGY_MGR) when a new commander takes charge, when the previous appointee PCSes, ETSes, or is reassigned, or when the unit's mission set changes in a way that requires renewed appointment. The memo is also required for unit inspections — including CIP, CCIR, and command climate reviews — where the AR 420-1 program is evaluated.
The appointment memorandum is the foundational document that establishes the appointee's authority under AR 420-1. Without a current, signed appointment memo on file, the unit's Installation Energy Manager / Energy Conservation Officer program is non-compliant — even if the appointee has all required training certificates. Inspectors will look for: a signed memo with current date, a grade that meets GS-12+ (Installation); E-6 or O-3+ for unit-level POC, and training/certification documents matching the appointee on the memo.
On EvalMe, the ENERGY_MGR memo is one of 39 AR 25-50 templates that auto-cites the correct regulation, uses the proper format, and integrates with your unit's address book and signature blocks.
