General Information
Mississippi has a total of 2.9 million residents and ranks 36th in the nation in terms of GDP, which is $88.5 billion. In 2006, Mississippi ranked 25th in the nation's industrial energy consumption at 445.6 trillion Btu and 17th in the nation's industrial natural gas consumption at 105.9 trillion Btu. The state's top 10 industries are listed in the table below. Mississippi's leading industries include petroleum and coal products manufacturing, transportation equipment manufacturing, and food manufacturing. Together, these industries are responsible for 49,451 jobs, $1,647.4 million in payroll, and $24,994.4 million in shipments.
The Industrial Technologies Program (ITP) is currently working with six partners in the state on cost-shared research and development projects and on near-term industrial savings through the Save Energy Now initiative. ITP supports one university-based Industrial Assessment Center that provides free energy assessments to industry while simultaneously training the engineers of tomorrow. In addition, there are one active R&D and two ITP Project Successes in Mississippi.

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 Mississippi.
Mapped ITP State Activities
The following map provides a visual representation of ITP activities in Mississippi. 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 Mississippi.
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 Mississippi:
