DOE General Service Lamps Energy Efficiency Standards
The U.S. Energy Department will host a webinar to discuss the enforcement policy regarding two new rules that the agency adopted in April for light bulbs, also known as general service lamps, and answer questions from regulated entities. The first rule revises the definition of general service lamps while the second implements the minimum standard of 45 lumens per watt for light bulbs that meet the revised definition. These rules are part of 100 energy efficiency actions the Biden administration plans to complete this year. Once these light bulb rules are in place, the department expects consumers to save nearly $3 billion per year on their utility bills.
