Amprion, one of four transmission system operators (TSO) in Germany, has awarded GE Vernova’s Grid Solutions business a contract for twelve 400 kV power transformers.
The transformers will be manufactured at GE Vernova’s grid facility in Mönchengladbach in western Germany. Delivery of the power transformers is planned from 2025 to 2027. Replacing a transformer fleet installed in the 1970s with GE Vernova’s transformers provides Amprion with updated grid technology that will help integrate even more renewables on to their network. The transformers will be installed at nine substations.
