EPA Announces 2024 ENERGY STAR Awards for Outstanding Contributions to Energy
Efficiency and a Clean Future
WASHINGTON – Today, March 26, 2024, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
is announcing the winners of the 2024 ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year
Awards. These 211 organizations, which represent the top ENERGY STAR program
partners, are making significant contributions in support of the clean energy
transition. They come from 38 states and localities, representing multiple
economic sectors. The winners will be recognized at an event in Washington,
D.C., on Thursday, April 25.
“Public-private partnerships such as ENERGY STAR are essential to enabling
us to meet the historic opportunity that the President’s Inflation Reduction
Act provides,” said EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan. “I congratulate
this year’s ENERGY STAR award winners for their innovation and leadership,
in delivering cost-effective energy efficient solutions that create jobs,
protect the climate, and contribute to a healthier environment for
everyone.”
Today’s awards recognize leaders among the thousands of industrial,
commercial, utility, state, and local organizations—including nearly 40% of
the Fortune 500®—that partner with the EPA through the ENERGY STAR program.
For every $1 the EPA spends to administer ENERGY STAR, these partners
collectively add $230 of their own investment. The result is: millions of
ENERGY STAR certified products, homes, apartments, buildings, and industrial
plants across the nation; utility rebate programs reaching 95% of American
households; 4 billion tons of greenhouse gas reductions; and $500 billion in
cost savings.
Among today’s ENERGY STAR award winners, 160 partners have demonstrated an
ongoing, year after year commitment to energy efficiency. These award winners
are being recognized through the program’s highest honor: ENERGY STAR
Partner of the Year – Sustained Excellence Award.
