JSC Zaporizhtransformator (ZTR), part of Energy Standard Group of businessman Konstantin Grigorishin, will ship a single-phase reactor to Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company (EETC) by the end of this year.
According to a report on the ZTR website, the enterprise has a long-standing cooperation with Egypt – the equipment has been supplied there since the 90s, when ZTR was just mastering work in foreign markets, and Egypt was a priority.
Reactors manufactured by ZTR are installed at EETC, therefore, the press service notes, it is not surprising that ZTR was the first enterprise with which the customer began to work on the issue of manufacturing a single-phase reactor as part of an urgent and important project.
“The substation where the equipment is planned to be installed is of strategic importance for Egypt, being a link between Egypt and Jordan,” the report says.
ZTR emphasizes that the shipment of equipment will be carried out by container lines (and not in a cargo hold of a ship) – such a scheme was used by the enterprise for the first time this year when shipping three reactors to Argentina due to small overall dimensions of the equipment.
At the same time, according to ZTR, transportation costs have been more than halved, which, in turn, increases the competitiveness of the enterprise and makes it possible to participate in tenders on other continents along with local manufacturers.
ZTR has experience in deliveries to 88 countries. It manufactures power oil transformers, electric reactors and controlled shunt reactors.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) in the report for August improved the forecast for the export of Ukrainian wheat in the 2021/2022 marketing year (MY, July-June) by 2.5 million tonnes compared to the forecast in July, to 23.5 million tonnes.
The forecast for wheat harvest in Ukraine in the new marketing year has been increased by 3 million tonnes compared to the July forecast, to a record 33 million tonnes. As noted in the USDA, this figure has been increased due to the expansion of the area under this crop, as well as due to its higher yield this season.
In the August report, the USDA also improved the forecast for the corn crop and its exports from Ukraine in 2021/2022 MY by 1.5 million tonnes compared to the July forecast. Thus, corn production is expected to grow from 37.5 million tonnes to 39 million tonnes, its export – from 30.5 million tonnes to 32 million tonnes. As explained, the forecast for corn harvest in Ukraine has been increased, as the reduction in acreage under this crop is more than offset by an increase in its yield prospects.
