Summary: A coalition of advocacy groups (ASAP, CFA, Earthjustice, and NCLC) supports the existing distribution transformer efficiency standards, arguing they provide regulatory certainty, improve grid resilience, and benefit ratepayers. They argue that supply chain issues are unrelated to these standards and urge the DOE not to use Section 504 of the Department of Energy Organization Act to weaken the rules.
