Midwest Manufacturing Snapshot: Energy Use and Efficiency Policies
This paper presents detailed manufacturing energy-use and economic-activity data along with state-by-state policy summaries for the 10 member states of the Midwestern Governors Association. To help inform ongoing policy discussions across the region, this paper offers a snapshot of industrial energy use and current state approaches to reducing industrial energy intensity and energy costs for manufacturers.
Summary
The workforce and economies of Midwestern states are more reliant on manufacturing than in any other U.S. region. Like the U.S. as a whole, during the past decade, the Midwest lost one-third of its total manufacturing workforce.
With the central focus of state governments on economic development, there is a growing interest in understanding how industrial energy efficiency investments could contribute to regional economic recovery and long-term competitiveness for U.S. manufacturers. However, statelevel energy-use data are not currently available from public sources at the level of detail needed to identify which sectors are using how much energy and where.
