Energy Smart Industrial Program

Energy Smart Industrial Program Overview

BPA's Energy Smart Industrial (ESI) program is offered through public utility customers to help the region’s industries achieve measurable and cost-effective energy savings.
The program includes a complete portfolio of complementary program offerings targeted at a diverse landscape of industrial facilities, project types and sizes, and technologies. Industries participating in the program include pulp and paper, food processing, wood products, high-tech manufacturing, cold storage, chemical processing, mining, and water and wastewater treatment.

All program offerings are supported by Energy Smart Industrial Partners (ESIP), with Technical Support Pool (TSP) resources available for custom projects and strategic energy management (SEM) as necessary.
In October 2024 the ESI program celebrated 15 years of successful resource acquisition, having helped over 900 industrial facilities achieve more than 240 aMW of energy savings. That’s enough energy to power more than 175,000 Northwest homes for a year and represents more than $850 million in cumulative avoided costs for the region’s industries.
