The study will assess the current state of the supply chain, identify any vulnerabilities, and make recommendations for improving domestic production capabilities. Overall, the Distribution Transformer Efficiency and Supply Chain Reliability Act of 2024 aims to promote energy efficiency, reduce electricity costs, and strengthen the domestic manufacturing sector.
