About the Industrial Energy Engineer - Overview:
In 2024, the WSU Energy Program has been awarded a three-year contract by the US Department of Energy (DOE) to deliver the Northwest Onsite Energy Technical Assistance Partnership (TAP) in a four-state region: Alaska, Idaho, Oregon and Washington. The Onsite Energy TAP supports the Pacific Northwest industrial sector and other large energy users as they add onsite clean energy technologies in their facilities as a part of their organizational decarbonization efforts. Large energy users can include campuses, hospitals, and other sites with significant energy loads year-round. This program specifically provides technical assistance; conducts market analysis to identify clean energy opportunities in the industrial sector; evaluates current tools for assessing onsite energy technologies; develops technical reports and fact sheets detailing relevant onsite energy technologies, and supports publicly available analysis tools to evaluate the economics and feasibility of deploying onsite energy technologies. The program also conducts education and outreach, engaging with policymakers, utilities, and other key stakeholders to identify pathways that could accelerate the integration of onsite clean energy technologies. These activities include developing regional resources, sharing best practices, and building partnerships that drive decarbonization across the targeted Northwest energy sectors.

Delivery of the current Onsite Energy TAP Program for US DOE represents the continuation of an extended, mutually-beneficial relationship between the WSU Energy Program and US DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), that has lasted continuously from 2003 through 2023. In previous years, WSU Energy Program hosted the Northwest Combined Heat and Power Technical Assistance Partnership (NW CHP TAP), (among other DOE programs). Engagement and Technical Services through the CHP TAPs promoted and assisted in transforming the market for CHP, waste heat to power, microgrids, and district energy with CHP throughout the Northwest through programmatic:
