• Appliance and Equipment Standards

• Appliance and Equipment Standards: In 2014, DOE issued 9 proposed and 10 final energy conservation standards for appliances and equipment. In total, those final rules are expected to reduce emissions by more than 350 million metric tons by 2030. Building on this momentum, DOE has proposed 6 additional energy conservation standards so far in 2015. All together, the final 3 standards completed during this Administration to date will avoid more than 2.2 billion metric tons of carbon emissions by 2030, saving consumers over $480 billion on their utility bills through 2030. The Administration remains on track to meet the Climate Action Plan’s goal of cutting 3 billion metric tons of carbon pollution from these energy savings measures by 2030.
