In 2020, 95 U.S. manufacturing plants earned ENERGY STAR certification for being among the most energy-efficient in their industries. By strategically managing their energy use while our country dealt with the challenges of the pandemic, these ENERGY STAR certified plants saved nearly $400 million on energy bills—equal to the payroll value of over 8,000 U.S. manufacturing jobs. They also avoided the consumption of 80 trillion Btu of energy compared to average plants. They also prevented over 5 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions, equivalent to those from the energy use of nearly 600,000 homes.
