- The Forward Regulatory Plan 2024-2026 was published on April 1st. It indicates that Natural Resources Canada plans to follow through with amendments to the Energy Efficiency Regulations in progress, launch new amendments (Governor in Council and Ministerial) and utilize new regulatory tools intended to facilitate alignment with other jurisdictions. Please consult the forward regulatory plan for the list of products and the Regulatory process page for more information on the tools.
Technical bulletins will be posted online and webinars offered later this Spring for the energy-using products listed on the forward regulatory plan. They will provide specific considerations for energy efficiency standards, testing standards, labelling, verification, and reporting requirements. The bulletins and links to register to the webinars will be found on the pre-consultation page.
On April 10, NRCan published a Ministerial Amendment for ceiling fan light kits to correct an erroneous reference to a U.S. testing standard that was initially included in the Regulations via Amendment 17. NRCan’s Minister approved the amendment under autjhorities outlined in section 20.1 of the Energy Efficiency Act and it has been published in Canada Gazette, Part II .
NRCan encourages you to visit its Energy efficiency regulations website for up-to-date information about energy-using products that are regulated in Canada.
