Commercial fridge efficiency rule canceled for businesses
This law cancels the Energy Department rule on commercial refrigerator and freezer standards (90 Fed. Reg. 7464, Jan. 21, 2025). The rule has no force or effect. No testing, certification, or enforcement from that rule applies. Manufacturers and sellers do not need to meet those efficiency levels. Stores and restaurants can buy and sell equipment without those new limits. Businesses may save on compliance costs, but energy use and power bills may be higher than under the canceled rule.
