Save Energy Now Utility Partnerships
With highly volatile energy prices, utility companies and their customers find themselves in an uncertain business climate. The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Industrial Technologies Program (ITP) provides a variety of tools and resources that utilities can use to expand energy efficiency and energy services offerings to their industrial customers. These tools and resources are to be used by utilities to expand energy efficiency and energy services offerings to their industrial customers. ITP offers many of these tools and resources free of charge. ITP needs the help of local utilities to encourage industrial energy conservation projects in order to enhance national energy savings.
