Tracked for more than a decade, the savings reflect customers' energy efficiency efforts and sustainability achievements.

MINNEAPOLIS, April 22, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Energy Management Collaborative (EMC), a leader in turnkey energy efficiency solutions, is on track to reach the monumental milestone of 25 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) in cumulative energy savings for its customers this July. Carefully tracked and reported each Earth Day for more than a decade by the energy services provider, this approaching achievement reflects EMC's unwavering effort to drive innovative energy solutions for Fortune 500 companies across North America.
