However, this global shift towards renewable energy is exposing a critical infrastructure gap: a severe shortage of transformers. As countries rush to expand generation capacity and decarbonize their grids, the demand for transformers has surged beyond current global supply capabilities.
- Rising energy needs are driving demand for power transformers.
- Renewable energy sources are often geographically dispersed, located far from existing grid infrastructure.
Unlike legacy fossil fuel plants, renewable sources such as solar and wind are often geographically dispersed, located far from existing grid infrastructure.
