R.I. Gen. Laws § 39-27-1, et seq., Energy and Consumer Savings Act of 2005 |
Summary: In 2005 the Energy and Consumer Savings Act established minimum energy efficiency standards for twelve commercial and residential products, nine of which were immediately preempted by the federal Energy Policy Act later that year. In 2006, S 2844, which included amendments to its 2005 legislation, was signed to create standards for an additional eight products, of which only one was preempted by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. The Office of Energy Resources is the state agency responsible for the adoption and certification of efficiency standards in Rhode Island.
