Transformers, Substations + The Grid

Municipalities throughout South Africa are facing rising energy demands and increasing costs – as well as opportunities to participate in a new market of energy independence and self-sufficiency. Modern power generation, storage, management, and transmission innovations bring the energy market closer to municipalities.

Trafo Power Solutions, working in partnership with TMC Transformers, is advancing dry-type transformer technology in Africa, delivering custom-engineered high-performance solutions tailored for use in demanding industries like mining and energy. The companies’ combined expertise, simulation-led design and commitment to innovation are seeing dry-type transformers increasingly specified for indoor and outdoor applications, and setting new standards for safety, reliability and environmental performance.

Recently reported research by ARC Advisory Group recognises Hitachi Energy as the global market share leader in grid automation for electric power transmission and distribution utilities . The findings are part of the comprehensive market and technology study titled Grid Automation Global Market Study 2024-2029 (June 2025), published by ARC Advisory Group, a leading technology research and advisory firm for industrial, energy, and infrastructure markets.
