California Endangered Savings from Proposed U.S. Department of Energy Pre-Rulemakings

Project Number NA Organization PG&E, SCE, SDG&E End-use Cooking Equipment, HVAC, Miscellaneous, Plug Loads and Appliances Sector Cross Cutting Project Year(s) 2025 - 2025
Description

This memo summarizes the endangered savings analyses conducted by the Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E), and Southern California Edison (SCE), collectively referred to herein as the California Investor-Owned Utilities (CA IOUs), in response to the United States (U.S.) Department of Energy (DOE) proposed deregulatory actions pre-published on May 12, 2025. Repealing amended appliance standards would jeopardize up to 5 billion gallons of water savings and 73 TWh of electricity savings in California over the next 25 years (2026-2050), representing more than $14.7 billion in combined utility bill savings. The loss of these savings and the associated cost burden on California ratepayers far outweigh the purported benefits of rescinding these standards.
