Congress Blocks New Energy Efficiency Standards for Consumer Appliances.

This resolution aims to nullify a Department of Energy rule setting new certification, labeling, and enforcement requirements for appliance energy conservation. If passed, potentially stricter energy efficiency standards for household and commercial equipment will not take effect. This means manufacturers will not be required to comply with the planned updates, impacting the future availability and cost of highly efficient models.
Key points
Disapproval of new federal rules concerning the labeling and certification of energy efficiency for consumer appliances.
Existing energy efficiency standards for household equipment will remain unchanged, preventing the implementation of planned stricter requirements.
