South Africa's Transformer Manufacturing Industry
South Africa's transformer manufacturing industry can bridge local and national grid gaps, boost energy security, and tap into global market demand.
According to Mervyn Naidoo, Group CEO of ACTOM, South Africa's energy transition, along with similar efforts by other countries, is accelerating the demand for power transformers as nations upgrade and expand their power grids to meet rising energy needs.
A Critical Infrastructure Gap
However, this worldwide shift towards renewable energy is exposing a critical infrastructure gap: a severe shortage of transformers. As countries race to expand generation capacity and decarbonize their grids, the demand for transformers, essential for transmission and distribution, has surged beyond current global supply capabilities.
Unlike legacy fossil fuel plants, renewable sources such as solar and wind are often geographically dispersed, located far from existing grid infrastructure.
By addressing this gap, South Africa's transformer manufacturing industry can play a crucial role in supporting the country's energy transition and meeting global market demand.
