Natural GAS Act of 2023
The Natural GAS Act of 2023 requires the Department of Energy to conduct a full fuel cycle analysis and disclose the results on appliance labels when developing new energy efficiency standards for water heaters, furnaces, boilers, and gas cooktops/ranges/ovens. It mandates that the Department certify new rules won’t cause a significant shift from gas to electric appliances in residential, commercial, or replacement markets. The bill exempts small manufacturers (as defined by federal regulations) from the rule application and requires the analysis results to be prominently displayed on energy efficiency labels at the point of sale. This directly affects federal agencies, appliance manufacturers, and consumers by shaping how future efficiency standards are created and communicated.
