NAHB Urges White House to Act on Transformer Shortages
NAHB is continuing to press the Biden administration to take action to address the severe shortage of electrical transformers that are preventing many of our members across the nation from completing home building projects.
NAHB has held several conversations on this issue with U.S. Department of Commerce officials but the shortage of transformers and other electrical components is spreading across the country and imperiling many construction projects and the ability to provide affordable housing.
NAHB has therefore taken the lead with our colleagues at the Associated Builders and Contractors, Association of General Contractors and Independent Electrical Contractors to send a joint letter to President Biden reiterating our concerns regarding the lack of supply and availability of transformers and related components. The letter notes that “significant shortages of single-phase transformers and other components are preventing local jurisdictions from issuing building permits because there is no way to provide power to the new homes.”
