On February 20, 2025, DOE published a notice that it is postponing the effective date of Biden-era amendments to the Department’s energy efficiency standards for walk-in coolers and walk-in freezers. The effective date of those amendments was February 21, 2025, but is now delayed until March 21. DOE’s announcement also indicated the agency will take public comment on “any further delay of the effective date, including the impacts of such delay, as well as comment on the legal, factual, or policy issues raised by the rule.”
