The center provides free, in-depth energy assessments to small- and medium-sized manufacturers and utilities. The goal is to increase their productivity and competitiveness by reducing energy and water consumption, enhancing cybersecurity and adopting smart manufacturing technology.<\/p>\n<p>To date, more than 600 companies and water treatment plants have used the center\u2019s services. On average, they received energy-consumption recommendations to save about $150,000 annually, higher than the national IAC average of $130,000.<\/p>\n<p>The UWM IAC, Amano said, has achieved annual savings for Wisconsin manufacturers of 41 million kilowatt hours, 98,000 killowatts of demand and 3.5 million therms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. Department of Energy
