HPS Embraces New U.S. Department of Energy Efficiency Standards for Distribution Transformers

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) recently amended the current energy conservation standards for distribution transformers. The new standard is expected to reduce energy losses in low-voltage dry-type distribution transformers by an average of 18%, according to the DOE (http://www1.eere.energy.gov/). These standards will come into effect the first of January 2016, and the DOE projects savings up to $12.9 billion in total costs to consumers and 3.63 quadrillion Btu of energy over a 30 year period.

Hammond Power Solutions (HPS) supports this change, and the environmental benefits society will receive. HPS will be in a position to support the migration to the new higher-efficiency designs that is anticipated to begin the latter half of 2015.
