Four voluntary agreements.
Three reports.
Two countries.
One goal: improving the energy efficiency of customer premises equipment.
The 2025 annual reports are in, offering the latest look at the progress of industry-led energy efficiency initiatives for broadband and video equipment in the United States and Canada. Together, the reports demonstrate continued strong performance against the agreements’ energy efficiency commitments and substantial long-term reductions in energy use.
Here’s what stands out.

The Bigger Picture
More than a decade after the first of these programs began, the 2025 results underscore the staying power of the voluntary agreement model. The agreements have delivered measurable energy efficiency gains while continuing to adapt to the technologies and services they cover — from the ongoing shift toward cloud-based and IP video services to the addition of FWA.
