DOE proposed withdrawing its prior determination that miscellaneous refrigeration products (MREFs) qualify as covered products for energy-conservation standards under Part A of Title III of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA). On July 18, 2016, DOE finalized EPCA coverage determination for MREFs, which may include wine chillers, non-compressor refrigeration products, hybrid products ( i.e., refrigeration products that combine a wine chiller with a refrigerator and/or freezer), and consumer ice makers. DOE now recommends eliminating efficiency standards for MREFs, asserting that “there are other avenues to conserve energy supplies than classifying MREFs as a covered product and establishing standards.”
