The new facility will have the capability to produce in excess of 500 transformer units annually, spanning ratings from 3MVA to 10MVA, specifically designed for BESS and grid-scale PV applications.
In a significant move to support the ongoing energy transition and meet the rising demand for grid-scale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects, Tyree Transformers has announced a substantial investment of over $10 million in the construction of a dedicated high-volume production line for BESS Step-Up Transformers. This expansion is poised to strengthen Tyree's position as a leading supplier of power infrastructure solutions for the renewable energy industry.
Located in Braemar, New South Wales, Australia Tyree Transformers has long been a pioneer in manufacturing Power Transformers and Substations, catering to both grid-scale Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Inverters and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Inverters. The company's products have played an important role in supporting global market leaders in PV and BESS systems during the ongoing energy transition.
According to Tyree, the decision to invest in this new production line comes as the company continues to experience surging demand for BESS transformers, after recently securing a large volume of orders for grid-scale BESS projects. The company's commitment to this expansion is a testament to its dedication to supporting the transition to cleaner energy sources.
The new facility will have the capability to produce in excess of 500 transformer units annually, spanning ratings from 3MVA to 10MVA, specifically designed for BESS and grid-scale PV applications. Tyree Transformers is committed to maintaining a strong local presence and contributing to the growth of the renewable energy sector in Australia.
Tyree Transformers expects the new production line to be fully operational by October 2023, thus ensuring a robust local supply chain for electrical infrastructure while also meeting the burgeoning market demands.
