The challenge

Scale, supply constraints, and an expertise gap

01

Did you know the world’s largest operating Francis turbine-generators are 1,000 MW each?

Baihetan operates sixteen record-scale 1 GW hydro units — proof of the manufacturing depth available in today’s global market.

Did you know U.S. power transformers faced a projected 30% supply deficit in 2025 — with lead times stretching beyond two years?

Large power transformers averaged 128 weeks and generator step-up units 144 weeks in Wood Mackenzie’s 2025 survey, making qualified manufacturers and coordinated global sourcing increasingly important.

Who will provide the pumped-storage expertise the U.S. will need by 2050?

The U.S. could more than double its pumped-storage fleet by 2050, yet no new plant has been built in over three decades — and more than one-quarter of the U.S. hydropower workforce is over age 55.
