The Department of Energy (DOE) announced Monday that it is postponing the implementation of a Biden-era rule that would limit fossil fuel usage in federal buildings. [emphasis, links added]
DOE is pushing its compliance date for the final rule to May 1, 2026 — one year later than originally planned — as it reviews the standards to ensure alignment with President Donald Trump’s administration priorities, a notice published in the Federal Register announced.
The move is one of many that aim to forward the administration’s goal of prioritizing domestic energy efficiency over climate change regulations.
“Under President Trump’s leadership, the Department of Energy is embracing a strategy of energy addition – leveraging all sources that are affordable, reliable, and secure,” Energy Secretary Chris Wright said in a statement.
