Comment

These comments are being submitted by Electro Federation Canada (EFC), which is a national, not-for-profit industry association, representing over 230 companies that manufacture, distribute, and service electrical products in Canada.

Members of Joint Transformer Business Section of EFC would like to thank the Ontario Ministry of Energy for addressing the concerns that the manufacturers had with complying to DOE requirements starting in January 2023. Alternative option added to the proposed regulation, allowing manufacturers to meet energy efficiency and testing requirements to CSA C802.1-13, is greatly welcomed.

EFC members will continue to support the work in-progress to revise the CSA standard to include higher energy efficiency levels, which would ensure that the requirements are referenced and followed across Canada thus preventing de-harmonization of standards within the country.

Thanks to MOE for your support to the industry and for considering perspective of all the stakeholders while taking such important decisions.
