With more than 18 years of experience in the power transformer industry, I have witnessed the evolution of technology, the manufacturing challenges, and the strategic importance these assets hold for the electrical grid.
Today, the world is facing a critical scenario: a global shortage of transformers.
The causes are many from the growing demand for renewable energy and electrification, to supply chain bottlenecks and long manufacturing cycles that can extend up to 24 months.
This reality directly impacts the reliability of power grids and the expansion of infrastructure projects.
But I also see opportunities:
Innovating manufacturing processes to reduce lead times and improve reliability.
Investing in digitalization and smart monitoring to extend the lifetime of assets already in operation.
Strengthening strategic partnerships to ensure efficiency across the value chain.
Transformers are not just machines they are the heart of the power grid, sustaining the growth of cities, industries, and entire communities.
I believe that with long-term vision and a strong commitment to quality, we can turn today’s shortage into an opportunity for innovation and progress in the energy sector.
