Strengthening Ukraine’s Grid Reliability with 25 MVA Transformers

Project Overview

As part of Ukraine’s urgent infrastructure reinforcement and modernization plan, this project was developed through a Germany-based EPC contractor working on behalf of Ukraine’s national grid operator. The collaboration aimed to ensure delivery and commissioning of key electrical infrastructure—specifically transformers—within an accelerated timeframe, driven by the pressing need for grid stability and energy resilience.


Project Scope

Our team was responsible for the engineering, manufacturing, factory testing, and international delivery of two high-performance 25 MVA transformers operating at 115 kV. The challenge was not only technical in nature, but also logistical—ensuring coordination between Germany, our manufacturing facilities, and the final delivery site in Ukraine under constrained timelines.


Technical Highlights

  • Quantity: 2 units
  • Capacity: 25 MVA each
  • Primary Voltage: 115 kV
  • Cooling: ONAN/ONAF
  • Standard Compliance: IEC 60076
  • Design Considerations: Dual-location coordination and grid-specific customization
  • Factory Tests Conducted: Routine and type tests per IEC standards

Logistics & Delivery

Given the geopolitical sensitivities and infrastructural limitations, logistics played a crucial role. The units were delivered through coordinated rail and road transport from central Europe into Ukraine, ensuring timely arrival despite regional complexities.


Impact

These transformers support Ukraine’s goal of maintaining energy independence and stabilizing its power grid amid ongoing regional pressures. Our contribution ensures continued electricity distribution to thousands of households and industries while reinforcing international cooperation in critical infrastructure development.
