State and Regional Project Awards

State, local, and regional organizations in the public and private sectors can work together to help local industrial companies realize energy and cost-saving benefits by utilizing Save Energy Now resources. These partnerships help put energy-saving tools into the hands of plant managers and engineers, reinforcing energy efficiency as a profitable business practice.

The Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO) provides Save Energy Now resources such as technical assistance, assessments, industry-specific guidebooks, and energy efficiency certifications and training to state, utility, and industrial partners. The AMO State Portfolio contains active awards for cost-sharing these activities.
