Why Be Involved?

An opportunity for electric utilities to understand the impact of advanced manufacturing.

• Understand new advanced loads, processes and their characteristics as related to novel manufacturing

• Prepare required infrastructure to accommodate these new loads

• Promote sustainable manufacturing and growth through innovative technologies

• Contribute to regional economy by retaining/bringing in jobs in companies that are better positioned for global competition
