U.S. EPA Honors 2021 ENERGY STAR® Partners of the Year Award Winners in Texas
DALLAS – (April 13, 2021) The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Region 6 and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) are honoring 19 ENERGY STAR partners in Texas for their outstanding leadership in reducing American energy bills and tackling climate change.
“The diligent work of the 2021 ENERGY STAR award winners is remarkable,” said EPA Acting Regional Administrator David Gray. “During these challenging times, these leaders have developed cost saving methods, advanced energy efficiency and environmental protection.”
This year, ENERGY STAR is giving special recognition to award-winning partners for their year-over-year commitment to energy efficiency through the program’s highest honor: the ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year – Sustained Excellence Award. To qualify for Sustained Excellence recognition, winners must have already received ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year recognition for a minimum of two consecutive years and gone above and beyond the criteria needed to qualify for recognition.
For more than 25 years, EPA’s ENERGY STAR program has been America’s resource for saving energy and protecting the environment. In 2019 alone, ENERGY STAR and its partners helped American families and businesses save nearly 500 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity and avoid $39 billion in energy costs. These savings resulted in emission reductions of nearly 390 million metric tons of greenhouse gases, roughly equivalent to 5% of U.S. total greenhouse gas emissions.
