Utility Engagement Playbook for Industrial Customers

The electrification of industrial process heat is vital to decarbonizing the industrial sector, but it requires collaboration in new ways between utilities, industrial customers, regulators, and state policymakers. On behalf of the Renewable Thermal Collaborative, Synapse led the development of the Utility Engagement Playbook for Industrial Customers: Addressing Power Sector Barriers to Electrification. The Utility Engagement Playbook identifies multiple core challenges industrial facilities encounter in their electrification efforts and offers a menu of potential solutions that can be pursued through collaboration with utilities or through regulatory and legislative intervention.
