Protecting America’s Distribution Transformer Supply Chain Act
This bill freezes new energy efficiency standards for distribution transformers. It prohibits the Energy Secretary from proposing or implementing any rules different from the 2013 standards (published April 18, 2013) for five years after the bill's enactment. The law directly affects the Department of Energy and transformer manufacturers by maintaining existing efficiency requirements. It ensures no changes to the 2013 rule during this five-year period.
