HD Hyundai Electric, a leading South Korean electric equipment manufacturer, announced on Wednesday that it has secured a significant contract valued at £47.1 million ($60.1 million) with National Grid plc, a major UK utility company. The deal involves supplying nine high-capacity power transformers ranging from 275 to 400 kilovolts (kV) to five substations across the UK. The delivery and installation of these transformers are slated for completion by October 2027.
This agreement marks a substantial achievement for HD Hyundai Electric as it continues to expand its presence in the global power infrastructure market. The company's transformers are crucial for enhancing the reliability and efficiency of the UK's electrical grid, particularly in the context of rising power demands and the integration of renewable energy sources. An official from HD Hyundai Electric highlighted the ongoing boom in the power infrastructure industry driven by global energy needs and renewable energy developments.
The contract with National Grid plc underscores HD Hyundai Electric's growing influence in international markets, following other significant deals, such as a recent $86 million contract in the US. The company expects steady demand for its electric devices, including transformers and high voltage circuit breakers, as nations worldwide bolster their power grid capabilities to meet contemporary energy challenges.
