At Virginia Transformer we ensure there is reliable power for all users of electricity across the U.S. And we also enable job creation and manufacturing in the U.S. through our supply of transformers to customers. Without transformers, there are no new plants to make cars, batteries, steel, data centers, hydrogen fuel replacements, and thousands of other products.
Versant Power in Bangor, Maine, the state’s 2nd largest utility covering more than 10,000 square miles in northern and eastern Maine, is a recent example. Last month they powered-up a new transformer for the University of Maine to help the university manage their growth, including the addition of a new on-campus, indoor athletic facility that will host concerts, events and university athletic programs.
Versant also turned to Virginia Transformer to help replace the oldest transformer in their fleet – 73 years old – last week.
Versant’s not alone in looking to upgrade aging infrastructure. Approximately 70 percent of all transformers on the U.S. electrical grid are older than 25 and the average transformer is approximately 40 years old.
We can be proud of the work we do to ensure the country has reliable power and that as we do that, we also are playing an important role in creating jobs across the country. See two stories below on the work we’ve done with Versant Power.
