Chile

United for Efficiency supports Chile’s policymakers and regulators in advancing policies, strategies and actions for the phase-out of inefficient residential refrigeration products.

The initiative promotes an integrated policy approach to support the transition to energy-efficient refrigerators and freezers, ensuring that market transformation can be sustained over time by the domestic market without continued external support.
