CEE's industrial programs include three initiatives (premium-efficiency
motors, motor systems and transformers) as well as supporting activities
like Motor Decisions Matter and the Compressed Air Challenge. These
programs promote energy efficiency in the industrial marketplace by working
with CEE utility members, whose customers include thousands of industrial
plants nationwide. CEE also works closely with manufacturers of industrial
equipment, such as motors and transformers, to encourage greater availability
of products meeting CEE's energy efficiency guidelines.

CEE INDUSTRIAL PROGRAMS
This exploratory committee is currently assessing member needs in the
industrial sector and identifying opportunities to enhance program effectiveness
through greater consistency in outreach and program design across the
U.S. and Canada.
Motors & Motor Systems Initiative
A tremendous opportunity for energy savings exists by addressing the efficiency
of the entire motor system as well as the the motor itself. For that reason,
CEE's Motors/Motor Systems Initiatives establishes premium efficiency specifications
for motors and develops programs for motor-system efficiency.
Motor Decisions MatterSM promotes system efficiency by encouraging
industrial and commercial customers to evaluate their motor repair and replacement
options and to develop a motor management plan before motors fail.
Water and Wastewater Exploration
CEE
is researching the energy-efficiency potential of the water and wastewater
industry. This section includes links, reports and other resources that provide
information about this sector.
C&I
Distribution Transformer Initiative
CEE and
ENERGY STAR® have adopted the
National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) TP-1 standard, which
reduces transformer losses by 50 percent. By promoting these levels,
the initiative contributes to increased product availability and subsequent
sales of high efficiency, low voltage distribution transformers.
