Electrical Goods: Costs
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether his Department has made an assessment of the affordability for people in households below average national income of purchasing a fridge freezer with an energy rating system of D+ and above.
- Answer
-
Household refrigerators are subject to regulations that set minimum energy performance standards and mandatory energy labelling, both of which were updated in 2021 to improve the efficiency of appliances on the market, making them cheaper to run and helping consumers to choose the right product for them. In making those changes, the Department did not make the specific assessment referred to in the question.
