The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is required by the Energy Policy Act of

1992 to consider standards for distribution transformers. On October 22,

1997, the Secretary determined, based on the best information currently

available, that it appears energy conservation standards for electric

distribution transformers would be technologically feasible and economically

justified, and would result in a significant energy savings. This site provides

information on the test procedure and energy conservation standards

rulemakings for distribution transformers.
