2007 Energy Conservation Standards Rulemaking for Distribution Transformers
The Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) of 1975 established an energy conservation program for major household appliances. The National Energy Conservation Policy Act of 1978 amended EPCA to add Part C of Title III, which established an energy conservation program for certain industrial equipment. The Energy Policy Act of 1992 amended EPCA to add certain commercial equipment, including distribution transformers.
In this rulemaking, DOE considered energy conservation standards for distribution transformers. Regulations that cover test procedures, energy conservation standards, and compliance and enforcement for distribution transformers appear under Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 431, subpart K.
