The Growing Demand for Renewable Energy Among Major U.S. and Global Manufacturers

September 19, 2017

The industrial sector (manufacturing, mining, construction, and agriculture) is the largest energy user in the U.S., consuming about one-third of all U.S. energy demand and spending about $230 billion a year on energy alone.1,2 By 2025, this share is expected to exceed 36 percent of all U.S. energy consumption.3 Manufacturing accounts for the vast majority of industrial energy use, consuming 74 percent of industrial energy equal to 24 percent of all energy consumed in the U.S. 4 Meanwhile, renewable energy, notably wind and solar, is now more affordable than it has ever been. To meet their energy needs and access power that is both cheap and clean, many manufacturers are setting corporate renewable energy and climate targets and advocating for state policies that expand options to invest in renewable energy at scale.
