The goal of this project is to study market opportunities for distributed generation (DG) and energy efficiency (EE) in Colorado's industrial sectors. Colorado Energy Office has contracted this work to Energetics Incorporated to support the following activities: 1) estimate the size of Colorado's industrial sector and identify opportunities to encourage DG and EE investment by industrial customers, 2) assess industrial customer attitudes towards distributed generation and energy efficiency, identifying barriers to investing in DG and EE, 3) create educational materials on financing and accounting tools that encourage DG and EE investment by industrial customers, 4) educate industrial customers about available programs, incentives, and financing options for industrial DG and EE, and 5) create guidelines and best practices for developing energy efficiency program that identifies and encourages DG and EE investment by industrial energy users.
