Azhar Fayyaz

Abstract

Europe’s 2030 renewable energy goals, targeting 600 GW of solar PV and 480 GW of wind energy, rely on distribution transformers for grid stability and efficiency. This article highlights the role of transformers, challenges from supply shortages and regulations, and the need for domestic production and workforce development to support Europe’s climate goals.
