Distribution Transformer Minimum Energy Performance Standards

The Australian Industry Group invites you to an industry-wide workshop focused on the Consultation Regulatory Impact Statement (CRIS) for distribution transformers.

This workshop will bring together government representatives and industry stakeholders to discuss the assumptions, data inputs, and policy implications of the CRIS released by the Commonwealth Government in October 2024.

While significant work has gone into the draft CRIS, Ai Group and its members have raised several critical concerns regarding the proposed changes — particularly the potential for major impacts on one of Australia’s advanced manufacturing sector.

This workshop is being held to bring together Government and industry to exchange perspectives over the assumptions and data used in much of the analysis.

Key Discussion Topics

• Global trends in transformer energy efficiency
• Cost–Benefit Analysis of Proposed Reforms
• Emissions and Lifecycle Assessments
• Compliance Challenges and Market Distortions
• Supply Chain Realities and Constraints
• Implications for Australian Manufacturing
• Role and Input of Standards Australia

Expect a robust and insightful dialogue, informed by the expertise of world-class transformer design engineers and compliance professionals.

Please note that there is a factory tour of Wilson Transformer Company’s Power Transformer manufacturing facility in Glen Waverly at 11.30 am (open only to personnel not considered competitors).

Who Should Attend:

• Compliance professionals
• Electrical power distribution stakeholders
• Industry leaders and technical experts
• Policy and regulatory advisors

Don’t miss this opportunity to influence key policy decisions affecting transformer efficiency and local manufacturing.
