The EPA news release includes a state-by-state listing of participating companies/facilities.

Participants in the ENERGY STAR program agree to reduce energy intensity by 10 percent within five years.

. . . On average, plants that met this challenge reduced their energy intensity by 19 percent within an average of two years. More than 100 plants have taken the challenge twice in a row, achieving reductions of more than 10 percent each time.
