NRECA Backs the Distribution Transformer Efficiency and Supply Chain Reliability Act of 2024
NRECA is supporting the Distribution Transformer Efficiency and Supply Chain Reliability Act of 2024, a bipartisan Senate bill that would require all distribution transformer cores to be made with amorphous steel by as early as 2027, increasing efficiencies and reducing wait times for electric cooperatives to receive the transformers. The current average wait time for a distribution transformer is two years, double the wait time prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
