Plants qualify by achieving an energy performance rating in the top 25 percent nationally using EPA's ENERGY STAR Automobile Assembly Plant Energy Performance Indicator (EPI). EPA's national energy performance rating system, developed in cooperation with industry, enables companies to evaluate the energy efficiency of their plants relative to the industry and to develop challenging energy improvement goals and plans. Scores are based on actual energy use. EPA is currently working with 10 industries to advance similar energy management tools.
