FRIDGE Act of 2023

The FRIDGE Act of 2023, also known as Bill 118 hr 4612, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress aimed at promoting energy efficiency in household appliances. The bill focuses on refrigerators specifically, as they are one of the most energy-intensive appliances in American homes.

The main goal of the FRIDGE Act is to establish a national program to provide rebates to consumers who purchase energy-efficient refrigerators. These rebates would incentivize consumers to upgrade to more energy-efficient models, ultimately reducing energy consumption and lowering utility bills.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions for the Department of Energy to set energy efficiency standards for refrigerators, ensuring that manufacturers are producing appliances that meet certain energy efficiency requirements. This would help to further reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Overall, the FRIDGE Act of 2023 aims to promote energy efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and save consumers money on their utility bills. It is a bipartisan effort to address environmental concerns and promote sustainable practices in American households.
