This guide from the Industrial Heat Pump Alliance provides industrial managers and sustainability officers with helpful steps and a roundup of available tools to support them in successfully procuring industrial heat pumps (IHPs). IHPs can deliver long-term energy savings and increase industrial process efficiency. The guide’s comprehensive steps range from learning about the technology to assessing the feasibility of an IHP project to exploring external funding options. Case studies detailing industrial electrification efforts and considerations by Oatly and Hilmar Cheese provide real-world examples and lessons learned.

The Industrial Heat Pump Alliance is a collaborative initiative of ACEEE, the National Electrical Manufacturers Association, and the Renewable Thermal Collaborative.

  • Bridging the Equity Gap for Utility Energy Efficiency Programs

    Note: This report was updated on July 31, 2026, to reflect data from Commonwealth Edison received after publication that showed additional spending on low-income efficiency programs. Resultant updates to the analysis yielded an increase in the overall average spending (of all utilities in the sample) on low-income programs in 2024. This increased the average share of budgets dedicated to programming for low-income populations to 14.1% and reduced the average “equity gap” to 13.8%; each change was less than 1 percentage point. ComEd-specific results were updated throughout. Additionally, the per-household savings data for Baltimore Gas and Electric was corrected, and that resulted in BGE no longer being listed in the top quartile of utilities in that category.
