Abstract
Industry/utility partnerships are created when both parties work productively toward common goals.
American industry faces tough global competition and to be successful must create and operate modern production facilities. Cost and energy efficient electrotechnologies play a critical role in their competitiveness.
Utilities can play a central role in industrial competitiveness, not only by providing competitively priced and reliable power, but also by helping their customers to identify and implement the most appropriate technologies.
When the correct environment is created, both win. Industry reduces costs and produces high quality products. The utility gains customer loyalty and achieves business success.
