Large power transformers, or LPTs for short, are integral for the functioning of the energy grid. But with BloombergNEF forecasting that the US will need to nearly double its units by 2030, will the country manage to meet the demand, or could it be facing further bottlenecks? On today’s show, Dana sits down with Eva Gonzalez Isla from BNEF’s modeling team. Together, they discuss what large power transformers are and what they do, US government policy and whether it has been aiding or hampering production, and the countries that are making up for a shortfall in the US’s transformer production capacity. Today’s episode draws from the BNEF research note US Risks Power Transformer Supply Gap Becoming a Chasm. Complimentary BNEF research on the trends driving the transition to a lower-carbon economy can be found at BNEF<GO> on the Bloomberg Terminal, on bnef.com or on the BNEF mobile app. Links to research notes from this episode: US Risks Power Transformer Supply Gap Becoming a Chasm - https://www.bnef.com/insights/32571See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
