The electronics manufacturing sector is undergoing rapid expansion fueled by global trends such as digitization and automation. As the demand for electronic products soars, the industry’s environmental impact also rises, particularly in terms of energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. The electronics industry is responsible for over 4 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. Energy efficiency is a vital lever in reducing the sector’s carbon footprint. Leading electronics companies have demonstrated that energy-efficiency measures can result in up to 30 percent energy savings in existing facilities at minimal costs. This presents a significant opportunity for manufacturers to meet their climate goals while lowering operational expenses.

This report delves into energy efficiency measures within final assembly, testing, and packaging (FATP) facilities, a core component of electronics manufacturing. By examining best practices and industry-leading strategies, we outline cost-effective and impactful ways to reduce energy consumption across both existing and new FATP facilities. The findings of this report are designed not only to serve as a practical guide for FATP operations but also to inform other industries with similar systems — such as HVAC, compressed air, and lighting. Through this detailed analysis, companies can gain insights into how to implement scalable solutions that optimize energy efficiency and contribute to their sustainability goals.
