General Information
Arizona has a total of 6.3 million residents and ranks 17th in the nation in terms of GDP, which is $217.0 billion. The state is home to six Fortune 500 companies. In 2006, Arizona ranked 33rd in the nation's industrial energy consumption at 234.7 trillion Btu and 42nd in the nation's industrial natural gas consumption at 18.7 trillion Btu. The top 10 industries in the state are listed in the table below. Arizona's leading industries include transportation equipment manufacturing, computer and electronic product manufacturing, and fabricated metal product manufacturing. Together, these industries are responsible for 74,482 jobs, $4,676.6 million in payroll, and $27,072.9 million in shipments.
The Industrial Technologies Program (ITP) is working with seven partners in the state on cost-shared research and development projects and on near-term industrial savings through the Save Energy Now initiative. ITP also supports a university-based Industrial Assessment Center that provides free energy assessments to industry while simultaneously training the engineers of tomorrow. In addition, there are two active and two complete R&D, and three ITP Project Successes in Arizona

States Incentives and Resources Database
This database is a comprehensive collection of incentives and resources for implementing energy-efficiency measures in a commercial or industrial facility. These incentives are often financial and are in place to reward business and residential customers for making strides in energy efficiency. The resources are in the form of analysis tools, education and training programs, and energy audits. The following link will take you to a site that will show you the energy incentives and resources in Arizona.
Mapped ITP State Activities
The following map provides a visual representation of ITP activities in Arizona. Click the checkboxes to filter certain activities. You may click the pushpin icon to show activity details. All locations are approximate. Following the map, there are lists that provide ITP activities (Energy Savings Assessments, Industrial Assessment Centers, Events and Trainings, and ITP Partner Projects) in Arizona.
Energy Savings Assessments
With emphasis on reducing natural gas consumption, DOE provides American businesses, factories, and manufacturing facilities with on-site Energy Savings Assessments (ESAs). The purpose of these assessments is to identify immediate opportunities to save energy and money that will lead to significant long-term savings. Gold and silver stars represent facilities that have been recognized for their achievements in industrial energy savings. The following is a list of businesses that have all benefited from ITP assessments in Arizona:
