South Africa's Transformer Manufacturing Industry
South Africa's energy transition, along with similar efforts by other countries, is driving up demand for power transformers as nations upgrade and expand their power grids to meet increasing energy needs.
A severe shortage of transformers has been exposed as a critical infrastructure gap, with demand surging beyond current global supply capabilities as countries rush to expand generation capacity and decarbonize their grids.
SA’s transformer manufacturing can bridge local and national grid gaps, boost energy security, and tap global market demand.
The Challenge
Renewable sources such as solar and wind are often located far from existing grid infrastructure, unlike legacy fossil fuel plants, highlighting the need for new transformers to support transmission and distribution.
Opportunity for Growth
By addressing the local and national infrastructure gap, South Africa's transformer manufacturing industry can play a crucial role in supporting the country's energy transition and tapping into global market demand.
Author's summary: South Africa's transformer manufacturing industry can fill a local and national infrastructure gap.
- Accelerating demand for power transformers
