Energy efficiency is being embraced by companies as a critical competitive advantage. What’s more, many companies are generating at least a portion of their own power.

  • 79 percent of businesses view reducing electricity costs as essential to staying competitive from an image perspective. This is the highest proportion since the resources study was first conducted in 2011.
