Transformers & Switchgear
in Cairo.
ETS delivers IEC 60076-compliant power transformers, distribution transformers, switchgear and package substations to utilities, EPC contractors, oil & gas operators, renewable developers and data-centre projects across Cairo.

Market context
Local grid, utilities, climate and procurement.
Cairo is supplied by the Cairo Electricity Distribution Company (CEDC), one of nine distribution affiliates under the Egyptian Electricity Holding Company (EEHC). The grid runs at 11/22 kV at MV stepped down from 66/220/500 kV transmission, and is interconnected with Sudan, Libya, Jordan and Saudi Arabia. Procurement is shaped by the New Administrative Capital (a $58 bn greenfield city east of Cairo with its own dedicated 500 kV grid), the Cairo Metro Line 4 expansion, the Sokhna industrial corridor, and the renewable build-out at Benban Solar Park (1.65 GW). Specifications follow IEC 60076 with 50 °C tropicalised design, copper windings and conservator preservation. EEHC's Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company (EETC) handles transmission-level procurement separately. Tender hints: most large procurements are donor-funded (EBRD, AfDB, World Bank, KfW, AFD) with international competitive bidding; technical evaluation weight is typically 30–40% which favours qualified manufacturers like ETS over the lowest-price bidders.
