In this sector, there is a clear trend towards reducing environmental impacts while enhancing the safety and efficiency of transformer operations. This is achieved through the use of biodegradable fluids, the development of transformers with lower noise levels, reduced losses, and a smaller carbon footprint. Additionally, the use of materials and components with lower carbon footprints and higher recycled content is becoming more prevalent, supporting the principles of a circular economy.

To meet these emerging challenges, we have been actively collaborating with our customers and partners to develop and implement environmentally sustainable solutions in transformer manufacturing.

Recently, we successfully tested the first of five contracted 63 MVA, 115/21 kV regulating transformers for a long-term German client. This marks the first medium-voltage transformer incorporating Bluemint® steel—a high-quality, low-CO2 transformer steel that reduces carbon emissions by 50% compared to conventional products. By utilizing hydrogen instead of carbon in the production process, our partner Thyssenkrupp Electrical Steel contributes to the EU's climate neutrality goals. The EU Green Deal aims for a 55% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2030 compared to 1990 levels, with the ultimate goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2050. Tests conducted on the new transformer, along with third-party certifications, confirm that this eco-friendly steel meets all the properties of traditional transformer sheet metals.

This project exemplifies our commitment to investing in the green economy and advancing the sustainable energy transition towards a low-carbon future.
