MEPs call for better energy efficiency ratings of home appliances

The European Parliament is calling for a tougher A to G rating scale showing the energy efficiency of household appliances like fridges and washing machines. Most appliances on the market now meet class A requirements with an increasing number of pluses being added (A+, A++, A+++). But, in a vote this week, MEPs have called for stricter ratings to further improve energy efficiencies. The Fine Gael MEP Sean Kelly says this will help reduce harmful greenhouse gases and it will lower people’s energy bills.
