AI Summary

This bill amends the Energy Policy and Conservation Act to require that the efficiency level of liquid-immersed, low voltage dry, and medium voltage dry type distribution transformers be no greater than trial standard level 2, as described in a proposed rule. It also specifies that any rule finalizing an efficiency level of trial standard level 1 or 2 for these transformers shall not take effect until 10 years after the date the rule is finalized. This aims to balance energy efficiency goals with ensuring a reliable supply chain for these critical electrical grid components.
