Energy Plans to Expand Transformer Capacity
Not long ago, Hitachi Energy held a 30 - year anniversary celebration for its Shanghai power transformer company. The company's relevant responsible person announced at the event that Hitachi Energy plans to invest $1.5 billion globally by 2027 to boost transformer production capacity, with the expansion of the Shanghai factory being part of this plan.
In the context of global energy transformation, the demand for transformers has been growing steadily. The development of emerging industries such as new energy and data centers has further increased this demand. Shanghai factory, as one of Hitachi Energy's important global production bases, has a complete range of dry - type transformer technologies. After the expansion, the factory is expected to increase production capacity by at least 30%, which will help meet the growing market demand and enhance the company's competitiveness in the global transformer market.
