Description	The U.S. electricity grid is facing significant supply-chain delays and rising equipment prices, particularly for transformers, circuit breakers, high-voltage cables, and steel poles. More than half of the 60 to 80 million high-voltage distribution transformers in the U.S. are over 33 years old and need replacement. Lead times for transformers and other equipment have extended to multiple years, causing delays in maintenance and new construction. The U.S. Department of Energy delayed enforcement of new energy-efficiency rules for transformers to mitigate the situation. Efforts include government grants to upgrade domestic production facilities and exploring standardized designs to reduce lead times.
