219 small- and medium-sized manufacturers (SMMs) across 38 states selected to receive a combined total of more than $40 million to implement energy saving improvements, matched by more than $83 million in industry investment under the Industrial Training and Assessment Centers (ITAC) Implementation Grants. Funded by the President’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the ITAC Implementation Grants program provides up to $300,000 per manufacturer to implement recommendations made by DOE and other qualified energy assessments. A total of 34 additional energy assessment providers have been qualified as "ITAC-equivalent."
Types of Projects
Projects that involve installing Light-emitting Diode (LED) lighting to optimize energy usage.
Projects that involve installing auxiliary equipment (e.g., monitors, sensors, level and pressure gauges) to improve day-to-day operation equipment & improve energy efficiency.
Projects that involve upgrade existing heating or cooling equipment to optimize energy usage.
Projects that involve installing onsite power generation equipment (e.g., solar panels, micro-turbines) to generate electricity at the facility/plant.
Projects that involve installing variable-frequency drives on existing equipment (e.g., such as motors, pumps, compressors) to optimize energy usage.
Projects that involve installing a capacitor bank to ensure accurate electricity demand and minimize site energy waste.
Projects that involve upgrading other industrial grade ancillary equipment (e.g., pipes, fans, blowers, & compressors) to further improve site energy usage
