Watch: Oil prices sink but are expected to see overall gains this month

Brent crude oil prices sank below $70 this week as the U.S. amps up production in the face of OPEC-led production cuts. Overall, Brent crude prices have risen nearly 6% this month. Analysts cite the dollar losing value as a major booster, as holders of other currencies can more easily buy crude. U.S. production is…

Brent crude oil prices sank below $70 this week as the U.S. amps up production in the face of OPEC-led production cuts. Overall, Brent crude prices have risen nearly 6% this month. Analysts cite the dollar losing value as a major booster, as holders of other currencies can more easily buy crude. U.S. production is keeping up with Saudi Arabia and is second only to Russia. Canada’s production is also expected to leap soon.

Grid OEMs are racing to build in the U.S., but transformers still take 2–3 years

Grid OEMs are racing to build in the U.S., but transformers still take 2–3 years

Grid equipment makers are expanding U.S. production for transformers, breakers, and high-voltage cable. POWER Magazine still puts power transformer and GSU lead times at 2–3 years. That keeps utility schedules exposed.

  • 01Transformer procurement is now a schedule risk, not a line item: POWER Magazine pegs power transformer and GSU lead times at 2–3 years, long enough to dictate substation cutovers and interconnection dates.
  • 02Big batteries are moving into “grid equipment” territory: ASCE’s profile of Plus Power’s Kapolei project underscores how storage can deliver large, fast-acting capacity, which can affect how operators specify protection, controls, and service contracts.

Lead time is the new design constraint for transformers, breakers, and HV cable

Lead time is the new design constraint for transformers, breakers, and HV cable

Grid equipment manufacturers are expanding U.S. production of transformers, circuit breakers, and high-voltage cable, according to Renewable Energy World. Delivery timelines are now part of engineering and procurement planning. For utility operators, EPCs, and developers, factory capacity and acceptance testing can set the critical path.

  • 01Delivery is now an engineering variable, procurement lead time can set in-service dates for substations and interconnections.
  • 02Treat transformer and switchgear procurement as early engineering work: capacity, test plans, and change control belong in the bid package and schedule model.
