Industrial Superior Energy Performance - Completed

Industrial Superior Energy Performance - Completed

The Industrial Superior Energy Performance (SEP) Accelerator was designed to demonstrate cost savings from implementing SEP enterprise-wide and ratepayer-funded energy efficiency programs for industrial facilities. Through the SEP ratepayer-funded Accelerator, partners including utilities and energy efficiency program administrators agreed to work towards deployment of SEP to manufacturers across their service territories. Enterprise-wide offers partners were manufacturers implementing ISO 50001 and SEP across a corporation, business unit, or multiple plants.
