Evidence of a resurgent, domestic manufacturing sector has strategic implications for energy policy as well as the economy. This industrial renewal is an opportunity to lock in energy savings for a generation for the U.S., and should be taken advantage of by state and utility energy programs. This report examines the dynamics of capital investment that drives industrial energy use and competitiveness. The report presents results from a survey of industry stakeholders that identifies the nature of capital investment decision-making. With a better understanding of capital investment dynamics, program administrators can work in concert with industry managers to build more efficient and productive manufacturing facilities on U.S. soil to create a more efficient and competitive manufacturing base for the future.
