A global shortage of electricity transformers is creating significant bottlenecks for large-scale renewable energy projects, particularly those in remote locations. This critical supply chain issue is causing widespread delays in connecting new solar and wind farms to the grid, threatening the pace of the energy transition and the realisation of sustainability targets.
“As much as 25% of global renewable projects could face delays, with cascading effects on project costs and timelines.”
(Jacobs, K. (2023, November 22)).
Transformers are required by utilities to scale renewable electricity projects in new locations, as the need to increase the voltage to “high” voltage is necessary to transmit energy across to the power transmission lines.
In the past, it was reasonable to assume that when a project needs a transformer, it would be available.
“Without a transformer, projects of all kinds end up delayed with cascading consequences… Instead of taking a few months to a year, the lead time for large transformer delivery is now three to five years.”
(Rathi, A., Malik, N. S., & Tsoi, T. (2025, March 25)).
Competitive Advantage Amid Shortage
Our company is uniquely positioned to capitalise on these market dynamics. With our distinctive value proposition, our technology does not require a transformer as the transmission of energy to the electricity grid is not travelling a long distance. Our strategy is to bring the power to where it is needed with its modular distributed energy model – with or without the grid.
We are looking for an investor to propel us on the next stage of our journey.
