04 — Transformer Procurement Analysis

Required Specification
2 × 50 MVA, 225/33kV, IEC 60076
Recommended Manufacturer
Efacec (Portugal) — 24–28 months
Alternative Option
Pauwels (Belgium) — 26–32 months
Order Deadline for Q3 2028
IMMEDIATE — slots available now
Estimated Unit Cost
€350,000–€500,000 per unit
Used Market Alternative
1 unit identified — inspection required

05 — Key Risk Flags

CRITICAL

Transformer order not placed. Efacec Q3 2028 delivery slots are currently available but being absorbed by North American buyers. Any delay beyond June 2026 risks pushing delivery to Q4 2028 or later, jeopardising the commissioning date.

MODERATE

RTE connection study not initiated. Application should be submitted within 30 days to maintain Q3 2028 timeline. Substation capacity is confirmed available but will not be reserved without formal application.

LOW

Switchgear lead time manageable. MV switchgear for this specification is available at 18–22 months from Schneider Electric France. This can be ordered after RTE study confirmation without risking the timeline.

06 — Deployment Decision

✓ PROCEED — WITH IMMEDIATE ACTION

This site is viable for Q3 2028 commissioning. The grid infrastructure, power price and site characteristics are strongly favourable. The project faces one critical risk: transformer procurement must be initiated immediately. Efacec delivery slots for Q3 2028 exist today but will not exist in 90 days at current absorption rates.

  • Contact Efacec commercial team this week — reference specification 2 × 50 MVA, 225/33kV, IEC, Q3 2028 delivery
  • Submit RTE connection study application within 30 days
  • Commission independent DGA testing on identified used unit as backup option
  • Engage regional development agency (ADIRA Grand Est) for loi industrie verte fast-track qualification
