OTTAWA — Canadian legislators this week introduced amendments to the national Energy Efficiency Act, a precursor to establishing broad federal limits on power use. Under current law, Canada regulates each product individually. The proposed rule would encompass all energy-consuming products, including electronics that use energy even when they're off or in standby mode. A 1W limit for standby mode is being considered, an unnamed Resources official said. However, most consumer electronics currently meet that limit, making the measure of limited benefit.
