Electricity Distribution Transformers – COAG Consultation Regulation Impact Statement – Ministerial Council on Energy

The Consultation Regulation Impact Statement (RIS) examines whether to introduce a revised Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) for electricity distribution transformers to improve existing levels of energy efficiency and performance. The proposed revised standard would apply to oil-immersed and dry type electricity distribution transformers with power ratings from 10 kVA to 3150 kVA intended to be used on 11 kV, 22 kV and 33 kV networks throughout Australia and New Zealand.   The Consultation RIS has been assessed as adequate by the Office of Best Practice Regulation.  Submissions are due by 2 September 2011. Further details are available from the Energy Rating website.
