Why it Matters

Energy-intensive industries consume large amounts of electric and thermal energy to manufacture their products. In fact, U.S. industry accounts for about one-third of energy use in the United States. These industries typically require a cost-effective, reliable and resilient energy supply to maintain their competive edge. Additionally, many of the processes employed by industry are difficult to decarbonize. Our team’s energy experts provide strategic solutions to assist industry in deploying the appropriate onsite energy technologies to meet a site’s current and future energy needs. These solutions integrate an onsite energy strategy with their carbon reduction goals.
