The National Environment Agency of Singapore (“NEA“) is proposing amendments to the energy efficiency requirements on regulated domestic goods under the Energy Conservation (Regulated Goods and Registered Suppliers) Regulations 2017 (“EC(RG&RS)R“). The proposed amendments aim to improve energy efficiency in the domestic sector and will help support Singapore’s raised national climate goals to “achieve net zero emissions by 2050” and “reduce emissions to around 60 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO2e) in 2030 after peaking emissions earlier”. NEA seeks comments on these proposed amendments which are set out in a consultation document released by NEA on 4 January 2023. The consultation exercise will close on 3 February 2023.
This Update highlights the key proposed amendments and the significance to affected suppliers of regulated goods under the EC(RG&RS)R.
