The Energy Technology List (ETL) scheme is currently under review. Several webinars are being held to gather input, giving you the opportunity to help keep the criteria up to date and ensure best practices are maintained across all areas.
WHAT IS THE ETL?
The Energy Technology List (ETL) is a government-backed list of energy-efficient equipment for business, commercial and industrial users. Thousands of products are listed, making up the top-performing energy-saving technologies. Technologies are listed by either being in the top 25% performing in the category or being energy-saving add-ons (such as controls).
