About the Better Plants Challenge
The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Better Plants Challenge is a voluntary partnership that aims to drive significant energy savings for industrial organizations. Driving energy savings can have a broad impact across the industrial sector, which leads to cost savings, greater reliability, and increased global competitiveness.
Through the Better Plants Challenge, industrial organizations commit to improving the energy performance of their portfolio of plants by setting a qualifying energy reduction goal over a 10-year period and sharing their strategies and results. In return, partners receive support in the form of technical assistance, tools, resources, and national recognition. The Better Plants Challenge requires a commitment from partners to pledge an organization-wide energy savings goal, develop an organization-wide plan to improve energy performance, and showcase their success by publishing solutions. In return, partners receive recognition from DOE and technical support to help achieve their goal.

Better Plants Challenge Impact
To date, over 300 industrial organizations have joined the Better Plants Challenge and pledged to achieve energy and cost savings across their facilities - and that number is continually growing. The industrial sector alone accounts for roughly one-third of the nation's energy consumption and presents a tremendous opportunity to uncover potential energy and cost savings that can be reinvested back into the workforce and domestic economy.
With over $14.1 billion and 2.8 QBTUs in savings to date from the collective achievements of Better Plants Challenge partners, the program continues to drive energy intensity reduction, reliability, and competitiveness across U.S. manufacturing and wastewater treatment facilities.
To date, over 100 partners have achieved their Better Plants Challenge goals. See the full list of Goal Achievers to date here.
