## Distribution Transformers Search Help z More Search Options t EERE Information Center 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. The Department of Energy, Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Building Technologies Program conducts the program that develops equipment energy conservation standards and has overall responsibility for rulemaking activities for distribution transformers in fulfillment of the law. The first step in developing energy conservation standards was the Secretarial determination in 1997 that, "Based on its analysis of the information now available, the Department has determined that energy conservation standards for transformers appear to be technologically feasible and economically justified, and are likely to result in significant savings" 62 FR 54809 (October 22, 1997). The Department is currently conducting an energy conservation standard rulemaking for Distribution Transformers. Some of the following documents are available as Adobe Acrobat PDFs.
