**Abstract:** The necessity to ensure energy efficiency in the industries is of significant importance to attain reduction of energy consumption and greenhouse gases emissions. Energy managemen<sup>t</sup> is one of the effective features that ensure energy efficiency in the industries. Energy managemen<sup>t</sup> models are the infancy in the industrial energy domain with practical guidelines towards implementation in the organizations. Despite the increased interest in energy efficiency, a gap exists concerning energy managemen<sup>t</sup> literature and present application practices. This paper aims to methodologically review the energy managemen<sup>t</sup> assessment models that facilitate the assessment of industrial energy management. In this context, the minimum requirements model, maturity model, energy managemen<sup>t</sup> matrix model, and energy efficiency measures characterization framework are discussed with implications. The study concludes with interesting propositions for academia and industrial think tanks delineating few further research opportunities.
