Hunting for a new power transformer in Europe? Buckle up. It’s four years or more at transmission voltage, and you’ll need luck on your side to get two at 132 kV.
Whitepaper
Build the market, not just the factories: Opna's market infrastructure blueprint for the critical power supply chain.
As Europe pushes ahead on energy security, decarbonisation, and affordability, all at once, new demand (from data centres, renewables, EVs, industrials, and upkeep requirements from an ageing grid) is creating a strain on the essential plumbing that underpins our electrification ecosystem. The current power equipment supply chain cannot keep up with demand.
