Companies within the industrial sector play a crucial role in our economy, driving growth, fueling innovation, and accounting for massive employment across a wide variety of categories. From chemical, automotive, advanced materials and metal fabrication to wood and paper, primary metals, oil and gas, food and beverage, and data centers, these industries form the backbone of our country’s workforce and infrastructure.
Not only are they responsible for creating millions of jobs, but they also produce highly valuable resources that support countless adjacent industries. Providing these companies with affordable, reliable power is essential for maintaining their operations and, at the highest level, contributing to overall economic growth.
Partnering With Power Providers
When selecting regions for operations — whether launching a new business, relocating or expanding — companies in the industrial sector are looking beyond just the power supply available. Many are partnering with providers who have extensive experience and expertise in site selection, including areas such as:
- Incentives and Business Climate: Which regions offer conducive environments for growth?
- Site Infrastructure: Ensuring facilities are outfitted with all necessary equipment, services and space.
- Workforce: Does the area offer access to a skilled, specialized labor pool?
- Transportation: Mapping out routes for logistics and transportation networks.
- Access to Stakeholders: Developing relationships with local and state-level decision-makers.
