    The industrial sector offers tremendous opportunity for low-cost energy savings from utility energy efficiency programs. ACEEE created this collection of four tools to communicate the value of ratepayer-funded industrial energy efficiency programs to policymakers, state governments, utility operators, and other stakeholders. Also included is a guide to help readers use the tools. In addition to this collection, each tool is available for download as a separate fact sheet on our Industrial Energy Efficiency Programs topic page.
