Following the map, there are lists that provide ITP activities (Energy Savings Assessments, Industrial Assessment Centers, Events and Trainings, and ITP Partner Projects) in Delaware.
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 Delaware:
