What is Migros or its subsidiary doing to ensure that energy-saving TV sets are on sale? Reason: In the latest advertising brochure with offers from 20.4. to 10.5. there are a total of 13 televisions on offer, including 12 with energy class G!!!! So only one model with the second highest B rating. In my opinion, this does not fit in with Migros' credo. Is this purchasing strategy still justifiable today?

That is the case, but for once it has nothing to do with Migros, but with the fact that it is very well described here, old A+ can easily become an E, F or something else. https://www.aldi-nord.de/kundeninformationen/energielabel.html

No, an A+++ is now a B (if A does not yet exist) A++ a C A+ a D A an E B an F C a G so the rating C old was also a bad choice in the old system. So it still has to do with Migros' strategy, doesn't it?
Hello Ursusi, thank you for your question. We are happy to answer as follows: The fact that televisions with an energy efficiency class G are currently on sale has to do with the change in the energy label since March 1, 2021: The new energy label must be used for new appliances from March 1, 2021. For appliances that were introduced before this date, the old energy labels can still be used until the end of the year. It is therefore possible that there are currently two different labels in circulation (A+++ to D and A to G). The current scale of A+++ to D will be removed for televisions and the original scale of A to G will be gradually reintroduced. An A+ television can therefore now be classified as F or G. This means that even more efficient appliances can be placed in classes A and B in future. However, this does not mean that televisions currently classified as F or G will be less efficient. The energy efficiency classes have simply been reassigned, and this new scaling is intended to ensure that the energy labels on televisions have a uniform appearance. The objectives of this new legislation are in line with the circular economy policy, which aims to provide consumers with better information to enable them to make informed purchasing decisions. As mentioned, the top efficiency class A will initially remain blank when the new energy label is introduced. It is therefore expected that the most efficient energy classes will only include a very small number of products for some time after the introduction. This is to reserve space in the new energy label for further product improvements. Even if products are currently rated "worse", they will retain their previous performance level. The only difference is that the energy efficiency index and the way in which the products were tested are different for the new label compared to the old version. A comparison between the old and the new energy label is therefore not possible: the way in which the overall energy efficiency level is determined for all products involved is different. This makes a direct comparison between the two labels impossible. However, comparability remains possible within the same energy label generation and product specification - for example, it is still possible to compare the energy labels for the appliances with the same technical specifications. Here is the information from Melectronics on the energy labels: https://www.melectronics.ch/de/cp/energielabels I hope my answer helps you to understand this. Kind regards, Marc

Dear MElectronics-Marc I've been thinking for two weeks now - well: I'm still not satisfied with the answer. And there's another leaflet insert from you in the Migros newspaper: 18 out of 21 TV sets in class G. I think there are enough TVs in strength classes E and F on the TopTen site https://www.topten.ch/private/products/tvs?filters%5Bscreensize_cm%5D=87.93%3B150.54&sort_attribute=energy_efficiency_class&sort_direction=4. So: forward to the future! Greetings Ursusi
