2025 Support ENERGY STAR: Sign-On Letter to EPA

Ensuring the Future of the ENERGY STAR® Program

The ENERGY STAR® program has been a cornerstone of U.S. energy efficiency efforts for over 30 years, delivering unparalleled economic and environmental benefits. We invite businesses, including manufacturers, homebuilders, building owners, non-profits, local governments, schools, and other organizations and industry leaders to sign a letter urging the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to maintain full funding and staffing for this critical program. (No individual sign-ons).

Join Us: Sign the Letter

By signing this letter, YOUR COMPANY OR ORGANIZATION IS urging the EPA and congressional leaders to continue supporting ENERGY STAR, ensuring its long-term success and impact. Your voice is essential in demonstrating broad industry support for this program.

With rising energy costs and growing electricity demands from AI and data centers, maintaining ENERGY STAR’s effectiveness is more critical than ever. The administration has committed to reducing Americans' energy bills by 50%, and ENERGY STAR provides a proven market-driven solution to achieve this goal. Without sustained funding, businesses and consumers will lose a vital tool that drives efficiency, affordability, and economic growth.
