Ganz Transformers and Electric Rotating Machines Ltd. supplied a custom-designed transformer unit worth almost HUF 340 million to the French wind farm developer Volkswind Gmbh. Ganz delivered a 70 MVA, 235 kV transformer unit for the Poste du Mont Varin wind farm in Fontaine-Uterte, in Northern France, for the company, which operates 61 wind farms in France.

Following the successful commission, Ganz’s custom-designed transformer unit will transform the energy generated by the wind farms to the voltage level of the local electricity transmission grid, thus contributing greatly to the security of supply that is also essential for renewable energy production. The transformer units connect the renewable energy plants to the electricity grid, ensuring that the energy produced is not wasted.

Following the change of ownership and the successful reorganization process, Ganz Transformers and Electric Rotating Machines Ltd., founded in 2020, has been continuously working to increase its production volume and further strengthen its international position. As a result, the Hungarian heavy equipment manufacturer, which is primarily export-focused, has already contracted 80 percent of its projected volume of orders for this year in the first quarter. The company is already active in nearly 15 countries and most of its export projects are renewable (wind and solar), and their implementation is ongoing.
