Environmental Benefits

A utility that installs 50,000 Prolec GE amorphous metal core distribution transformers instead of high-efficiency silicon steel distribution transformers could avoid more than 13,500 metric tons of CO2 emissions on the Mexican power grid per year, equivalent to the annual CO2 emissions of over 17,000 cars on Mexican roads.

Operating Benefits

Prolec GE's amorphous metal core distribution transformers provide cost savings to utilities from reduced electricity losses. For example, a utility that installs 50,000 Prolec GE amorphous metal core distribution transformers instead of high-efficiency silicon steel distribution transformers could save nearly $300,000 per year, assuming core loss costs of approximately $7 per watt and winding loss costs of approximately $3.40 per watt.
