Transformer Shortages Threaten Grid Stability Amid Rising Demand

The U.S. power grid faces increasing strain due to a significant shortage of transformers, essential components for electricity distribution. Lead times for new transformers have extended up to three years, a stark increase from the four to six weeks typical five years ago. This bottleneck hampers efforts to modernize the grid and accommodate growing energy demands from sectors like data centers and electric vehicles. Aging infrastructure and supply chain disruptions further exacerbate the issue, highlighting the urgent need for investment in transformer production and supply chain resilience.

Accelerating Renewable Energy in the Middle East and North Africa

The Middle East and North Africa are witnessing significant strides in renewable energy expansion. Notably, a 650 MW wind farm in Egypt was completed ahead of schedule, providing power to over a million households annually. Such projects underscore the region's commitment to diversifying energy sources and reducing reliance on fossil fuels. As renewable capacity continues to grow, the demand for advanced power management and infrastructure solutions becomes increasingly vital.

China and Chile led battery storage deployments in a more evenly distributed scene than in previous months, but a lower overall total was installed at grid-scale. Market intelligence firm Rho Motion, the downstream arm of Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, says it tracked nearly 9 GWh of new global battery energy storage system (BESS) capacity entering commercial operations in April 2025. This came from a total of 3,333 MW/8,890 MWh of grid-scale projects.

Italy’s Barium Bay offshore wind farm has obtained a positive Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) decree from the Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security. This is a major step forward for the largest floating offshore wind project in Italy and the Mediterranean. Located in the Apulia region, south of Italy, between the cities of Bari and Barletta, Barium Bay is a collaborative effort between pan-European renewable energy platform Galileo and the Hope Group, an Italian company specialising in renewable energy plant design.
