Scaling Transformer Manufacturing for the Years Ahead | Ghuge & Telawne, Texas Transformers & Equipment

The transformer supply crunch isn’t going away — but one dual-continent manufacturer is scaling fast to meet US demand.

At the 2026 IEEE PES T&D Show, APC Media sat down with Sujay Ghuge and Rakesh Telawne of Texas Transformer and Equipment, a Dallas-based company bridging domestic assembly with international manufacturing to deliver pad-mounted and power transformers for the North American grid.

Key Takeaways:

• Texas Transformer Equipment specializes in pad-mounted transformers up to 10 MVA, 44 kV and power transformers up to 300 MVA, 345 kV
• The company has already installed and commissioned 200+ transformers across the United States
• Manufacturing is split across two continents: three UL-certified facilities in Mumbai, India (Telawne Power Equipments) plus a Dallas, Texas assembly plant producing units up to 5 MVA
• The Dallas facility enables faster lead times and domestic content advantages for US utilities
• The team is projecting thousands of installations in the coming years as demand for distribution and power transformers accelerates
