CLEAResult reached one trillion kilowatt hours of cumulative lifetime customer energy savings since its founding in 2003 — a milestone that reflects the lifetime impact of energy efficiency programs delivered across North America over more than two decades.

Energy For scale, one trillion kilowatt hours is equivalent to powering every home in the United States for roughly eight months, or every home in Canada for more than five and a half years. It also represents billions of dollars in energy bill savings returned to customers, and an estimated 302 million metric tons of CO₂ that never entered the atmosphere.

“One trillion kilowatt hours is a number that reflects what’s possible when you stay committed to a mission for 23 years,” said Rich McBee, President and CEO of CLEAResult. “It belongs to every utility partner, every community program, and every customer who made a change — big or small — to use energy more efficiently. We’re proud of what this number represents.”

CLEAResult first announced it was approaching the trillion kilowatt hour threshold in its 2025 Sustainability Report, published in May 2026, which detailed 996 billion kilowatt hours of cumulative savings. The company’s continued program activity across the U.S. and Canada pushed the total over one trillion kilowatt hours in the months that followed.

The milestone comes as electricity demand across North America continues to accelerate, driven by AI data center growth, electrification, and increased pressure on grid reliability. Energy efficiency remains one of the fastest, most practical, cost-effective tools available to utilities and governments managing that demand – and CLEAResult’s scale positions it to help deliver measurable outcomes at a critical moment for the grid.

“Behind every one of those kilowatt hours is a real decision by a real person to use energy differently,” McBee added. “It happened in homes, businesses, and communities across North America – one program, one upgrade, one customer at a time. That’s what changing the way people use energy actually looks like.”
