NEA to raise minimum energy performance standards for four appliance types

SINGAPORE: The National Environment Agency will raise the minimum energy performance standards for the four appliance types it regulates starting next year, it said on Tuesday .

The enhanced standards come after consultations with the public and industry in late 2020 and also earlier this year, said NEA."There were no concerns over the enhanced requirements and inputs received were considered in developing the enhanced requirements," it added.With these changes, households will benefit from"substantial" life-cycle cost savings, said NEA.

"The life-cycle costs of these appliances are expected to be the same or lower after the change. The higher standards will spur suppliers to introduce new and more energy efficient appliances over time," it said.The MEPS along with the Mandatory Energy Labelling Scheme are"key" programmes to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions in the household sector, noted NEA.
