NPGA Files Suit Against DOE Rule on Tankless Water Heaters

On Friday, January 17th, NPGA, partner organizations, and 21 states filed an initial brief in our lawsuit challenging a Biden-era United States Department of Energy (DOE) Final Rule that would deprive consumers of energy choice and would eliminate a product class of non-condensing tankless water heaters from the market. NPGA, along with coalition partners, have been engaged with this rule continuously, commented on multiple proposals, and continuously sought meetings with the Department of Energy and other Federal agencies. NPGA was successful in delaying this rule for months, but DOE persisted in published a rule in the waning days of the administration. NPGA has vigorously challenged all DOE actions aimed at eliminating non-condensing appliances, including filing a lawsuit in Federal Court.
