On February 12, 2026, Hengfengyou Electric successfully completed the loading and dispatch of 19 customized transformers for a major power distribution project in South Africa at its Qingdao production base. Two 40HQ containers, packed with the robust engineering of "Made by Hengfengyou," have officially set sail. This delivery is more than just an export; it is a profound realization of Hengfengyou’s professional delivery capabilities and its unwavering commitment to international service.

Ⅰ. Market Outlook: New Opportunities for 22kV Transformers in South Africa’s Grid Upgrade
The South African power market is entering a historic phase of rapid expansion. According to the Development Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA), the region plans to add 133,000 MVA of transformer capacity between 2025 and 2034, with a total investment exceeding 440 billion Rand.
As Eskom signs a 7 billion Rand procurement framework and renewable energy projects accelerate, the demand for 22kV distribution transformers has reached a critical peak. With keen market insight, Hengfengyou Electric has strategically positioned itself in the South African market, providing high-quality equipment that precisely meets local grid standards to bridge the supply gap.

Ⅱ. Technical Expertise: Tailored Solutions for S9/D9 Series Transformers
The 19 units dispatched are engineered to match local project conditions perfectly, covering a full range of scenarios from large-scale industrial/commercial distribution to terminal residential power:
Mainstream Capacity: 4 units of S9-1000kVA/22kV and 4 units of S9-500kVA/22kV;
Special Voltage Specifications: 3 units of S9-500kVA-0.8/22kV (customized for specific industrial sites);
Flexible Distribution Terminals: 4 units of S9-100kVA/22kV and 4 units of D9-10kVA (Single-phase) transformers.
From raw material selection to final assembly, this batch of 22kV oil-immersed transformers followed Hengfengyou’s rigorous Quality Control (QC) system, ensuring high reliability and long-term operation under South Africa’s challenging geographical and climatic conditions.

Ⅲ. Delivery Excellence: Proprietary Logistics and "Butler-Style" On-Site Service
In the field of electrical equipment export, transportation safety is the cornerstone of partnership. To ensure the equipment remains intact during long-distance sea and land transit, our logistics and technical teams implemented a "Multi-Layer Reinforcement Solution":
Multi-layer Anti-vibration Packaging: Each unit is fully wrapped to resist maritime moisture and mechanical vibration.
Physical Displacement Prevention: Triangular wooden frames and professional fixed brackets provide multi-point anchoring within the containers, completely eliminating risk of impact or shifting.
End-to-End Supervision: Sales Manager Simon (simon@hengfengyou.com) supervised the entire process on-site. Upon departure, a full set of documentation—including packing lists, tracking numbers, and live loading photos—was synced with the client, achieving a truly "worry-free delivery."

Ⅳ. Brand Vision: Deepening Roots in Africa to Build a Global One-Stop Service Benchmark
The successful dispatch of this order has earned high praise from our South African partners. "Hengfengyou’s professional execution and meticulous attention to transport protection give us full confidence in the upcoming installation and commissioning," the client stated.
