Distribution transformer transmitting control signals and method of making same

A method, system, and apparatus including a distribution transformer (100) having a communications module (116). The distribution transformer (100) is configured to convert a first high voltage electricity from a high voltage distribution line (102) to a first low voltage electricity and convey the first low voltage electricity along a low voltage line (110) to an electrical device (112, 114). The communications module (116) is configured to transmit a load reduction request along the low voltage line to the electrical device (112, 114).
