Wet corn milling, auto manufacturing, pharmaceutical manufacturing and cement plants achieving a rating of 75 or higher using the ENERGY STAR Energy Performance Indicator specific to their plant type are eligible to apply for the ENERGY STAR. Petroleum refineries should email the EPA contact below for further information on application procedures.
Qualified plants will receive a certificate of achievement along with a letter of congratulations to the company’s corporate energy manager and chief executive officer. The plant will also receive a bronze ENERGY STAR plaque and graphics to create a flag or banner, both reflecting the year for which the plant has qualified for the ENERGY STAR.
Use the appropriate EPA ENERGY STAR plant Energy Performance Indicator (EPI) to determine the performance of all plants eligible to be rated and find candidates which may qualify for the ENERGY STAR. To view the rating tools or EPIs for these industries, see Industries in Focus.

NOTE: The ENERGY STAR is awarded for a specific year. A plant that has earned the ENERGY STAR becomes eligible to reapply one year after the date of the last energy data included in the SEP submitted as part of the previous year's application.
