Global Elimination Program for PCB (GEP-PCB)

The Program seeks to phase out the use of, and eliminate, PCB containing transformers and other electric equipment by leveraging transmission and distribution projects and other suitable operations to engage electric utilities and other PCB-harboring entities on the need to safely eliminate legacy PCBs while increasing operational and energy efficiency. This will be achieved by providing decision tools, financing options and technical assistance to decontaminate and rehabilitate or replace contaminated equipment and by funding the removal, transportation, and disposal of legacy PCB waste stockpiles.
