New energy labelling of lamps and light bulbs

Cartoon from 4 September 2021 in CTXT

This new energy labelling, which came into force on 1 September, mainly for light bulbs and lamps, began to be applied in March this year to five families of electrical products (refrigerators, freezers and wine coolers, washing machines and washer-dryers, dishwashers and electronic displays) both in physical shops and on the Internet.

According to the ministry's note, the new labelling of electrical products eliminates the A+, A++ and A+++ energy classes, reverting to a rating scale ranging from A to G, where A is assigned to the most energy-efficient and energy-efficient products, and G to the most energy-efficient and least energy-efficient products. In this way, the label will maintain seven different classes.

Here they say that, by reading the label, you will never be afraid again. When the electricity goes up again, as it does almost every day, you can rub the label against the bill and you will instantly regain your inner peace.

On Sunday, Pedro Sánchez fixed the electricity bill. Or something like that. He made an election pledge assuring that at the end of the year will balance the robberies of big electricity companies.
