The president and CEO of the American Public Power Association says U.S. electric utilities are experiencing a shortage of distribution transformers, a critical component of the grid.
Joy Ditto says the shortages worsened by supply chain challenges are impacting all regions of the country.
“The distribution transformers are the boxes that convert the voltage and enable electricity to flow into homes and businesses and there is a shortage across the country and industry,” she says.
