Summary
Save Our Gas Stoves Act
This bill places limits on energy conservation standards for kitchen ranges or ovens under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act.
The Department of the Energy (DOE) may not prescribe or amend energy conservation standards for kitchen ranges or ovens unless DOE (1) determines that such standards will not likely result in the unavailability of a product on account of the type of fuel the range or oven uses; and (2) discloses certain stakeholder meetings with entities that have ties to China or the Chinese Communist Party.
In addition, DOE may not finalize, implement, or enforce the proposed rule titled Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Consumer Conventional Cooking Products issued on February 1, 2023, or any substantially similar rule. The proposed rule prescribes energy conservation standards for consumer conventional cooking tops, including electric cooking tops, gas cooking tops, electrical ovens, and gas ovens.
