November 18, 2009, California Energy Commission (CEC) in the historic 5-0 vote, unanimously adopted the first for the U.S.
TV Machine mandatory energy efficiency standards (CaliforniaCodeofRegulations, Title20, Sections1601 ~ 1608). This standard was implemented in 2011, in California
Sell The new television will become the most energy-efficient television. CEC estimated that after ten years, will save 8.1 billion U.S. dollars in energy costs, saving enough energy to power 864,000 households. "The new TV winners in the energy efficiency regulations is to California consumers, they will save billions of dollars of cost and energy, while maintaining its own purchase of any size or type of TV choice." CEC Chairman KarenDouglas said.
It is reported that this standard requires new television sets sold in California to reduce electricity consumption by 2011 should be 33%, 49% reduction by 2013. The standard affects only the screen size of less than equal to 58 inches TV. For example, a 42-inch screen, power consumption, 2011 will be less than 183 watts to 2013 not more than 115 watts. Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PacificGas & Electric) estimated that after 10 years, the standards would reduce three million tons of carbon dioxide emissions. Currently, more than 1000 kinds of sales in the U.S. market model has reached the TV standard in 2011, and its low cost does not exceed the energy efficiency of products. The implementation of new standards will not affect existing customers already have or are in the retail store shelves, TV, shops will not be banning the sale of existing stocks of the old TV.
CEC beginning from January 2007 to develop TV energy efficiency standards. Since then, the Commission staff and various stakeholders, including utilities,

LCD TV Association. In the past 30 years, and other parts of the United States increased 40% energy consumption compared to California's per capita electricity consumption remains unchanged. Recently, the California economy by the U.S. Energy Efficiency Committee (ACEEE) named the United States energy-efficient state. California has a well-known through cost-effective energy efficiency standards for consumer protection 30-year track record for California families and businesses save the cost of 56 billion U.S. dollars.

By the 1974 legislation created the California Energy Commission (CEC) is a major California energy policy and planning agency. CEC has five main functions: forecasting future energy needs and the preservation of historical energy data; to 50 million kw of thermal power plant licensing; energy efficiency standards for appliances and buildings; development of energy technologies and supporting renewable energy; planning and guidance state response to energy emergencies.
