I can only assume that you mean NEC 2014.

There is really not much that was added to the 2014 that would affect cost in any real amount AFAICT.

What type of transformer?

Yep, new weights, sizes, inrush characteristics and impedance for the new DOE2016 designs.

I wonder what the price delta is. The DOE estimates that there will be a savings of about 3.6 quads over the next 30 years. Not per year, TOTAL. The US generates about 100 quads ANNUALLY (USEIA figures). Total energy savings is 0.1%, +/- over the entire 30 years.
