U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright said on Monday that the Department of Energy (DOE) had further postponed the effective dates for three Biden-era home appliance mandates.
The mandates were previously postponed in February. The department has delayed “effective dates for three home appliance rules: Test Procedures for Central Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps, Efficiency Standards for Walk-In Coolers and Freezers, and Efficiency Standards for Gas Instantaneous Water Heaters,” according to the DOE’s March 24 statement.
