The Postal Service continues its commitment to reduce its use of energy, fuel, water, and other resources. The organization is well on its way to comply with the Energy Independence Security Act of 2007, which mandates that federal agencies cut facility energy use by 30 percent and vehicle fuel consumption by 20 percent by 2015. The Postal Service’s National Energy Management Plan, published in 2008, guides efforts in facility energy management, fleet management, fuel strategy, utilities management, and energy conservation and awareness. Postal energy expenses amounted to $2.3 billion in 2010. Transportation consumed 75 percent, with the balance in utilities.
