Washington, D.C. - Request for Information to Inform Future Funding Opportunities

The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Office of Electricity (OE) announced a Request for Information (RFI) soliciting feedback from transformer manufacturers, utilities, academia, research laboratories, government agencies, and other applicable stakeholders regarding distribution and power transformers. Upgraded transformers and other grid equipment are key to supporting the future grid to make it more resilient, reliable, and secure by replacing outdated, expensive technologies, some more than 100 years old.

"A resilient, reliable, and secure grid is the foundation for America's continued global leadership in the clean energy transition," said Gene Rodrigues, Assistant Secretary for Electricity. "New components such as advanced transformers can help us to modernize the power grid to strengthen reliability today and prepare it to meet the demands of the future."
