The European Commission has been hard at work over the past five years, crafting rules to facilitate the decarbonisation of the EU’s economy – everything was to become more efficient and use greener materials.
These efforts included a push to make electricity transformers – essential for grids – more energy efficient. New rules could reduce transformers’ power losses by up to 0.5 percentage points, but to achieve this, the devices would need to be much bulkier.
