Quantifying global power transformer demand and supply amid accelerated grid modernization
Edvard Christoffersen
Abstract
The power transformer industry is undergoing unprecedented strain amid record demand from grid buildout. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the power transformer supply chain, integrating grid and transformer demand forecasts with an assessment of manufacturing capabilities across 324 production facilities in 51 countries. Results reveal a widening supply-demand gap since 2019. Strategic capacity planning, enhanced workforce development, and supply chain optimization are crucial for meeting future grid infrastructure needs.
