.Energy is proposing tighter regulations on new dishwashers and beverage vending machines to reduce energy and water use and cut greenhouse gas emissions. These are the latest of more than 100 efficiency-related regulations advanced during POTUS's term.
DOE's proposed rules are the latest in a long line of more than 100 efficiency-related regulations advanced during President Joe Biden's tenure, which the department has introduced as part of its larger agenda to mitigate climate change and save consumers money on energy costs.DOE also announced a separate final rule Friday tightening efficiency standards for electric motors of the sort that drive manufacturing and processing equipment.
The proposed rule would tighten standards for the maximum estimated annual energy use and per-cycle water use for both standard-size and compact dishwashers beginning in 2027. Average per-unit savings over the life of the product were estimated at $17 for standard appliances and $30 for compact appliances, while the total cost of conversion to industry required to comply with the proposed standards was approximately $125.6 million.
DOE's final electric motor rule, which affects equipment such as fans, compressors, and pumps, takes effect in 2027 and was estimated to save consumers up to $8.8 billion in utility bills over 30 years while carrying an estimated $468 million in conversion costs to industry.
