Transformers and substations

ACTOM has launched a new Customer Experience Centre at its Knights facility in Boksburg, Johannesburg. It is designed to offer customers easier access, clear visibility and insight into operational, full-scale equipment. At the centre, clients can interact with the equipment and discover how ACTOM’s technologies work together to solve real-world challenges.

As in South Africa and many other countries around the world, Tesvolt reports from Berlin that in Germany too, distribution grid operators are receiving many requests to connect large-scale energy storage systems to the medium- and high-voltage grid. This has been noted by Bayernwerk Netz, Bavaria’s largest distribution system operator, and Mitnetz Strom.

At the end of June 2025, ACTOM Kenya demonstrated its commitment to innovation and reliability in the equipment it showcased at Power & Energy Africa Kenya 2025. As a trusted leader in East Africa’s energy sector, ACTOM Kenya has established a firm footprint in the country, and aims to expand across the region, extending its advanced solutions, strong technical expertise, and reliable service to new markets.

ACTOM Power Transformers, a division of ACTOM (Pty) Ltd, recently marked a major milestone, celebrating its 60+ year legacy as a trusted local manufacturer, as well as its recent recommendation for accreditation of the only SANAS-certified power transformer test lab in South Africa.

As South Africa seeks to modernise its power infrastructure, ACTOM’s Engineering Projects and Contracts (EPC) Division is stepping to the forefront.
