Mr. Parker, 

Please find attached a report that addresses our concerns regarding the DOE's projection of the US 

distribution transformer market. Our concern is that the market will be driven by the need for replacement 

transformers, as our model forecasted 2008-2011 transformer replacements comprised 75-80% of total 

deliveries and that beyond 2015, replacements will comprise over 50% of total deliveries. 

As we have stated within committee meetings, transformer replacements is a real issue and needs to be 

considered as it has the potential to substantially diminish life cycle, energy savings, and environmental 

benefits of higher efficiency standards.
