The Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended (EPCA), prescribes energy conservation standards for various consumer products and certain commercial and industrial equipment, including distribution transformers. EPCA also requires the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to periodically review its existing standards to determine whether more stringent standards would be technologically feasible and economically justified, and would result in significant energy savings. In this final rule, DOE is adopting amended energy conservation standards for distribution transformers. It has determined that the amended energy conservation standards for these products would result in significant conservation of energy, and are technologically feasible and economically justified.The effective date of this rule is 8 July 2024. Compliance with the amended standards established for distribution transformers in this final rule is required on and after 23 April 2029.Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 431This final rule and previous actions notified under the symbol G/TBT/N/USA/682/Rev.1 are identified by Docket Number EERE-2019-BT-STD-0018. The Docket Folder is available on Regulations.gov at https://www.regulations.gov/docket/EERE-2019-BT-STD-0018/document and provides access to primary and supporting documents as well as comments received.
