On July 1, 2025, the 7-tray insulators and pole top iron plates shipped by Seatrust Power to Angola were professionally loaded on June 30. The total weight of this batch of goods is 4,418 kg, loaded in a CMA container, carried by Maersk ship MAERSKSHEERNESS/526W, and transited to Luanda Port via Djibouti. It is expected to arrive at the port in late July to supply dry season power grid maintenance.
The insulators shipped this time adopt an 8cm widened shed design, and the shed spacing is compressed to 45 mm. Fluid mechanics simulation has verified that it can reduce 57% of sand and dust accumulation. The lower surface of the shed is engraved with a radioactive double-arc guide groove, which uses the monsoon to achieve self-cleaning. Combined with borosilicate glass material (SiO₂ content> 80%), it gives it a cold and hot shock tolerance of -40℃ to +120℃, perfectly covering the extreme temperature difference between day and night in the inland of Angola. At the same time, the 86μm hot-dip galvanized layer (30% higher than normal) of the pole top iron plate is certified by ISO 1461, and the outer packaging has a clear condensation water barrier effect, which effectively resists coastal salt spray erosion. These characteristics jointly confirm the technical adaptation concept of "one place, one policy" of Seatrust Power. The goods adopt differentiated packaging solutions. The pole top iron plate is wrapped with anti-rust film and then tied to the pallet; and the insulator is placed in a reinforced wooden box with filter mesh ventilation holes, and a built-in spring suspension system is used to adapt to the bumpy and dusty environment of sea transportation. The 10cm anti-collision cotton filled between the goods forms an anti-seismic buffer layer. Although it results in a container space utilization rate of only 25.5%, it significantly improves the equipment integrity rate. This move is a special countermeasure for the difficulty of replenishment in remote areas of Angola.
The low loading rate is actually the necessary price to ensure zero-loss delivery of equipment, especially for key areas of power grid transformation such as Benguela Province in Angola, to ensure that materials are directly supplied to the construction front in the dry season. When the industry is pursuing container full load rates, we adhere to the transportation concept of "space for safety", which is precisely the core competitiveness of Seatrust Power in deepening its presence in the African market.

When the inverter of the Saudi Red Sea photovoltaic power station is turned on in the morning light, and when the rural clinic in South Africa is freed from power outages due to the energy storage system, Chinese-made power equipment is becoming the invisible backbone of the energy network in Asia, Africa and Latin America.
As an exporter of power equipment with deep roots in the Middle East, Africa and Asia markets, Seatrust Power has keenly captured the opportunity of a new round of market explosion - Saudi Arabia's "Vision 2030" plans to achieve 130GW of renewable energy installed capacity by 2030, and its sovereign fund PIF's hundreds of billions of funds are accelerating the implementation of projects; South Africa's aging power grid has caused frequent power cuts, pushing the demand for solar storage in public facilities such as hospitals and water plants from the household level to the public level; what is more noteworthy is that Nigeria's imports of Chinese inverters in 2025 surged 50.8% year-on-year, confirming that the characteristics of anti-dust and wide voltage input are precisely adapted to harsh environments.
Faced with the "impossible triangle" of cost sensitivity, fragile power grids and lack of operation and maintenance in the Asian, African and Latin American markets, the evolutionary path of Chinese power equipment is highly consistent with our product strategy. The box-type substation adopts a prefabricated "GIS switchgear + transformer" modular structure, which effectively reduces the installation time of overseas construction sites by 50% and greatly reduces the construction risks; in response to the dust corrosion pain points of countries around the Sahara, our dust-proof GIS switchgear reduces the failure rate by 40% through sealing structure innovation; and in Pakistan and Brazil, where the power grid fluctuates violently, the new generation of inverters with an ultra-wide voltage input capacity of 93V-305V is ensuring the continuous production of local factories. These breakthrough designs make the Chinese solution the preferred answer for energy upgrades in developing countries.
The future layout needs to be closely linked to the three major growth poles: the integrated photovoltaic storage general contracting model can give full play to the advantages of our photovoltaic + transformer + distribution cabinet chain. In the future, our company will continue to deepen environmental adaptability innovation and intelligent operation and maintenance systems, so that the energy solution composed of transformers, photovoltaic arrays, and dust-proof switchgear will become the clear hope flowing when turning on the tap in towns in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, and also become a reliable Chinese option in the European power grid upgrade plan.

On June 18, 2025, Seatrust Power customized a special batch of emergency reserve bulk cargo for Burundi customers, which was shipped at Beilun Container Terminal of Ningbo Port. This batch of materials with a total weight of 26 tons will cross the Indian Ocean and is expected to arrive at the Port of Bujumbura in 20 days to build a "mobile safety warehouse" for power grid protection in the rainy season. The goods cover 11 categories of products such as tension insulator strings, suspension insulator strings, and grounding rods, all of which are packaged with French labels to ensure barrier-free use by local workers.
Precise stocking to create a "mobile warehouse" for African power grid construction. In response to the high temperature and humidity environment and frequent thunderstorm climate in Burundi, Seatrust Power customized hardware solutions. The hot-dip galvanized steel rod set uses a ≥86μm zinc coating (in accordance with ASTM A123 standards), which increases the corrosion resistance life by 40%. The tension insulator string has passed the 250kV steep wave impact test and can withstand heavy rain and lightning; the grounding rod adopts a gradient resistance reduction design, and the resistance drops by 45% in a muddy environment; the insulating gloves are certified by ASTM D120-14, and are equipped with rescue hooks to form a double insurance for emergency repairs. The clamps adopts a full range of earthquake-resistant designs, the suspension clamps matches 16-50mm² conductors, the breaking force of the strain clamps reaches 100kN, and the bolts and gaskets in the pre-assembled kit are packaged according to the construction package to reduce the customer's warehousing and sorting costs.
With the advancement of the construction of the China-Africa Green Energy Corridor, Seatrust Power looks forward to transforming China's mature power grid disaster prevention experience into more intelligent solutions that meet local needs, and jointly building a more resilient African power infrastructure. We firmly believe that every timely delivery of materials is lighting a beacon of resistance to wind and rain for African communities and weaving a life guarantee of uninterrupted power supply for thousands of households.

In the wave of global energy transformation, power equipment exports are undergoing structural upgrades. At the beginning of 2025, Qingdao Pyramid Electric Engineering Co., Ltd. won the bid for the procurement of DC UPS equipment for the 600MW wind power project in Alghat, Saudi Arabia, becoming a typical case of Chinese companies achieving core equipment breakthroughs in the field of high-end power control in Saudi Arabia for the first time. Chinese power equipment export companies are turning from general equipment suppliers to dedicated system solution providers.
Like many Chinese companies, our company has always been a customized strategy to develop differentiated product systems for different market characteristics and accurately adapt to regional needs. The deepening practice of this strategy is the key driving force for our company to respond to the diversified needs of the global power market and achieve a strategic upgrade from a "general equipment supplier" to a "regional dedicated integrated system solution provider". Our company has continued to deepen regional market research for many years, accurately capturing the pain points of regional differentiated power demand and laying a solid foundation for the development of truly adapted dedicated products and integrated systems.
Based on deep insights, we go beyond the export of single equipment and focus on building a differentiated product system and integrated solution capabilities for regional characteristics. For the high temperature and sandstorms in the Middle East, we develop special cables that are resistant to high temperatures, flame retardant, anti-rodent, and anti-ultraviolet. For the African power grid, we optimize cables with high conductivity, resistance to frequent bending, and adaptability to harsh laying environments. Design transformers and supporting cabinets with wide-range voltage regulation and strong overload capacity for areas with unstable voltage (such as Africa); develop compact, prefabricated substations and box transformers for space-constrained areas (such as Asian cities); meet the stringent requirements of the European and American markets for ultra-high energy efficiency (such as amorphous alloy transformers), low noise, and intelligent monitoring (built-in sensors and communication modules). Develop high-efficiency components and inverters that adapt to the high radiation, high temperature, and dusty environment in the Middle East; provide off-grid and microgrid systems with high energy storage integration and easy maintenance for off-grid and weak-grid areas in Africa; meet the high standards of Europe and the United States for component recyclability, system intelligent monitoring, and operation and maintenance.
We firmly believe that only by deeply understanding and accurately meeting the vastly different electricity demands around the world and providing truly "region-specific" integrated system solutions can we represent Chinese power equipment companies, win lasting advantages in the new stage of competition in the global market, and contribute Chinese wisdom and solutions to the world's energy transformation and reliable power supply.

Recently, our company provided quotation and system design for the 33/11kV photovoltaic integrated substation project in Lahij, Yemen. The project is funded by the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) and supervised by the World Bank. The owner is the Yemen Aden Water and Sanitation Project Management Agency (UWSSP), which will directly ensure the stable power supply of the water supply system in the Lahij region, benefiting hundreds of thousands of residents.
Facing the harsh conditions of high temperature and dust in Yemen, fragile power grid, and difficult operation and maintenance, Seatrust Power deeply implements the "strategy of precise adaptation to regional needs", and customizes core equipment: 4MVA 33/11kV main transformer adopts H-class insulation + forced air cooling design, which can withstand high temperature environment of 55°C; 33kV The GIS switch cabinet is equipped with a 31.5kA high short-circuit capacity and a 36kV lightning protection level (LA-36kV) to resist frequent lightning strikes and voltage fluctuations; the 2000kVA field transformer is equipped with a wide voltage input (±15%) to adapt to weak network environments. Using an intelligent control system and an integrated remote monitoring module, real-time diagnosis of parameters such as transformer oil temperature, GIS air chamber pressure, and photovoltaic grid-connected power are supported, supporting Yemeni operation and maintenance personnel to manage equipment through mobile terminals, greatly improving management efficiency in remote areas. The photovoltaic interface capacity is reserved, and in the future it can be directly connected to the municipal photovoltaic power station group planned in Aden, providing 100% green electricity guarantee for water facilities.
The coverage rate of the national grid in Yemen is less than 53%, and Lah Province has long relied on diesel power generation. As the core energy station of UWSSP water affairs, this substation will replace high-cost fossil energy and promote the transformation of the regional water supply system to "photovoltaic + smart grid". After the completion of the project, it will reduce the energy consumption cost of the water system by 40%, directly benefiting 200,000 residents.

In recent years, high-voltage direct current (HVDC) technology has become the core track of global energy transformation due to its high efficiency in long-distance power transmission, new energy grid connection and grid interconnection. Europe, the Middle East and emerging markets are accelerating the layout of HVDC projects.
The National Grid of the United Kingdom plans to invest 59 billion pounds in HVDC projects in the next five years, focusing on promoting grid interconnection and offshore wind power transmission. It is expected that Europe will add about 100GW of HVDC capacity by 2030. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates integrate regional power grids through HVDC technology, and plan to build a cross-border high-voltage network to reduce transmission losses by 30%. Germany and Italy plan to invest 21 billion euros to upgrade the power grid and promote the integration of HVDC and digitalization. The aging problem of traditional power grids in Europe and the United States has given rise to the demand for upgrades. The average service life of transmission equipment in the United States is more than 40 years, and the replacement demand in the next ten years will reach 240 billion US dollars. The focus is on transformers, distribution cabinets and smart meters, providing Chinese companies with a high-profit market entry.
The power gap in Africa has given rise to the demand for microgrids and cross-border interconnection, and the advantages of China's EPC model are highlighted. South Africa's first "photovoltaic + energy storage" microgrid was successfully connected to the grid, and the stable power supply capacity increased by 40%, driving a surge in demand for distribution cabinets and transformer cabinets. The first 250,000-kilowatt wind farm in Niger, West Africa, was built as a node of the West African Power Pool (WAPP). In the future, it will export electricity to neighboring countries and promote regional power grid interconnection.
Brazil, Pakistan and other countries rely on China's UHV technology to promote the implementation of UHV projects. Chinese companies are turning from "equipment export" to "standard output" with their own technological iteration and cost advantages. Our company's UHV cables use low-loss cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation technology to support long-distance and large-capacity power transmission, perfectly adapting to Europe's renewable energy grid connection and grid upgrade needs; composite insulators have excellent pollution flashover and anti-aging performance, and are suitable for high salt fog and high humidity environments (such as coastal wind power projects), which is highly consistent with Europe's green energy transformation goals.
In the next ten years, the global HVDC market size is expected to exceed one trillion US dollars, and Chinese companies including our company are expected to occupy more than 30% of the market share through technology output and ecological co-construction. The "solar-hydrogen storage" closed loop in the Middle East, the interconnection of microgrids in Africa, and the power grid upgrades in Europe and the United States will together constitute the three poles of the company's business growth.

On May 11, 2025, after the United States and China held economic and trade consultations in Geneva, Switzerland, they jointly issued a statement on May 12, announcing that they would significantly reduce most of the new tariffs on each other's goods from May 14, and withdraw some non-tariff countermeasures.
China and the United States reached a breakthrough consensus in the Geneva economic and trade talks. The two sides announced that they would implement phased tariff reductions on power equipment and new energy products. The core content includes three points. First, the tariffs will be significantly reduced: the United States will cancel 91% of the additional tariffs, suspend 24% tariffs for 90 days, and retain the 10% base rate; China will simultaneously cancel 91% of the counter-tariffs on the United States and retain the 10% rate. Second, mutual recognition of technical standards: Chinese-made power equipment (such as distribution cabinets and transformers) that meet UL and IEEE standards can directly enter the US market without repeated testing costs. Third, the green channel mechanism: a fast customs clearance channel for clean energy equipment will be established, and the port inspection cycle will be shortened to 72 hours.
Under this tariff background, export categories are "ice and fire". Photovoltaics and energy storage are in the high-growth field. Due to the explosion of demand for household photovoltaics in the United States, the export of bifacial modules has increased by 82% year-on-year; there is also the category of smart power distribution equipment. The demand for customized UL-certified substations accounts for more than 50%, and the North American power grid upgrade orders are accelerated. However, due to the US "Inflation Reduction Act" subsidizing local enterprises, China's export unit price of power fittings has fallen by 8% year-on-year; high-voltage cables have also indirectly raised logistics costs due to EU carbon tariffs, and some orders have shifted to Southeast Asian foundries.
But opportunities always coexist with challenges. As a professional power equipment export company that has been deeply involved in the African market for eight years, Seatrust Power has undertaken dozens of transmission line EPC projects in Burundi, Zambia, Angola and other countries, covering core areas such as rural power grid construction and substation upgrades. These experiences provide solid support for Seatrust Power to enter the European and American markets. With its deep accumulation and technical precipitation in the African market and the DistribuTECH 2025 exhibition as a strategic fulcrum, Seatrust Power is making every effort to increase its development and layout in the European and American markets.
This competition began with Trump's "301 investigation" in 2018. At its peak, the average tariff rate of US goods on Chinese goods reached 19.3%, and China responded by precisely attacking US agricultural and energy exports. Today, although the two sides have temporarily suspended the conflict, the future is still full of uncertainty.

On May 9th, local time, 300 sets of transformers customized by our company for a national power company in Kenya were installed and shipped from Ningbo Port. This batch of equipment will be used in Kenya's rural power grid transformation project, marking our company's deep involvement in East Africa's energy upgrade plan to support regional sustainable development goals with high-efficiency equipment.
The Kenyan government plans to increase the national electrification rate to 95% by 2025. The surge in electricity demand has created a rigid demand for equipment. Rural areas are in urgent need of transformer equipment with strong adaptability and high weather resistance. The customer of this order is a leading power contractor in Kenya. It is worth mentioning that the company has participated in national projects such as the Mombasa-Nairobi power transmission and transformation project. This cooperation not only reflects the African market's recognition of our technical standards, but also highlights the implementation of our "scenario-based innovation" strategy.
Based on this, our company has customized the product in all aspects to match the African scene: in view of the pain point of Kenya's high temperature environment, the three-dimensional layout and aerodynamic structure of the heat sink are optimized, and the equipment can still maintain continuous and stable operation in an environment of 40°C; at the same time, the modular pre-installation technology is adopted to simplify the on-site assembly process to a "plug and play" mode, which increases the construction efficiency in remote areas by more than 50%. More importantly, this batch of transformers has passed the IEC and ANSI standard pre-certification. This breakthrough not only lays the foundation for the subsequent bidding for the East African Power Alliance (EAPP) cross-border project, but also marks that our company's technical standards have achieved "African scene adaptation" and "European and American market access" dual tracks.
At the same time, the China-Africa Cooperation Forum's "Electricity-Agriculture Interconnection" special loan has accelerated Kenya's rural power grid financing and driven the long-term demand for equipment such as transformers and distribution cabinets. In the future, our company will continue to pay attention to opportunities such as Africa's new energy microgrids and cross-border transmission projects, and promote the coordinated export of wires and cables and photovoltaic energy storage products.

On April 28, local time, a large-scale power outage occurred in the whole of Spain, Portugal and parts of France, affecting more than 50 million people, paralyzing traffic and interrupting communications. The load of the Spanish power grid dropped by 15 gigawatts (equivalent to 60% of the national demand) in 5 seconds, becoming the most serious power grid collapse in Europe in nearly 20 years. The power outage exposed the vulnerability of the European power grid, especially the stability problem after a high proportion of renewable energy is connected to the grid.
This blackout occurred against the backdrop of Europe's accelerated energy transformation. In 2024, Spain's renewable energy power generation accounted for 56.8%, far exceeding the EU's 45% target by 2030. However, the strong volatility of extreme weather (high temperature and sudden drop in wind speed) and the disconnection of the power grid's regulation capacity led to a lack of buffering when the load dropped sharply, which eventually led to a systemic collapse.
In terms of technology, the energy storage capacity of the Spanish power grid accounts for only 8% of the power generation of new energy, far below the 20% safety threshold recommended by the International Energy Agency (IEA). When the wind speed drops sharply and causes fluctuations in the output of renewable energy, the energy storage system cannot quickly fill the 15GW load gap, causing the frequency to plummet to 48.8Hz within 5 seconds, breaking the lower limit of power grid safety. In terms of mechanism, the interconnection capacity between the Iberian Peninsula and the European main grid is only 3GW, and there are differences in dispatching standards among EU member states. In the accident, although France can provide emergency support, the transmission bottleneck causes the actual transmission power to be less than 1GW, and the cross-border coordination mechanism is in name only.
The blackout highlights the risk of Europe's over-reliance on a single renewable energy source. At present, it is still necessary to design a diversified energy structure, combining traditional energy (such as gas peaking power stations) with new energy for coordinated operation. The weather resistance advantages of our transformers, insulators and other equipment in high temperature and high humidity environments can meet the needs of European power grid upgrades. At the same time, in response to the pain point of insufficient instantaneous regulation capabilities of the European power grid, Chinese companies can launch intelligent distribution cabinets, energy storage substations, dynamic reactive compensation devices and other products to the European market to adapt to high-volatility power grid environments.

In 2025, the "reciprocal tariff" policy imposed by the United States on China and its allies continues to ferment, and China's power equipment exports face multiple challenges such as high tariff barriers and supply chain reconstruction.
Dual pressures of tariff barriers and supply chain reconstruction. The cost of market access in Europe and the United States has soared. The United States has imposed a 54% tariff on Chinese power equipment. The export costs of core products such as transformers and cables have surged, and the traditional European and American market share is facing squeeze. Technical certification barriers have been upgraded. The EU has put forward more stringent CE certification requirements for smart distribution cabinets and photovoltaic inverters. UL and CSA certifications have become the entry threshold for the North American market, and the compliance costs of small and medium-sized enterprises have risen by 30%.The fragility of the global supply chain is highlighted. The risk of supply interruption of key components and the export control of the United States on semiconductors and high-end insulation materials have extended the delivery cycle of equipment such as transformers and smart meters to 1-4 years, and the price has doubled. Although overseas production bases such as Mexico and Vietnam can avoid some tariffs, they face labor shortages and rising logistics costs. The maturity of the Southeast Asian supply chain still requires a 3–5-year cultivation period.
However, the acceleration of global energy transformation and the explosion of demand in emerging markets also bring structural opportunities to the industry. Driven by the dual wheels of emerging markets and technological breakthroughs, the demand for energy transformation in Africa and the Middle East has exploded. Asia's smart grids and industrial microgrids have been upgraded, and technology exports and domestic substitution have accelerated. The competitiveness of domestic equipment has increased, and the cost of imported equipment from the United States has risen due to tariffs. China's high-efficiency transformers (no-load losses reduced by 65%) and fire-proof cables (UL 1685 certification) are accelerating to replace imports. Green power technology is leading the world. China's photovoltaic + energy storage system accounts for 75% of the global market share. Saudi Arabia's NEOM New City and China-Laos Railway projects use RMB settlement to promote the internationalization of technical standards.
The global tariff war has accelerated the reshuffle of the power equipment industry. Enterprises need to use technology as a spear and service as a shield to deeply integrate into the wave of regional energy transformation and seize the growth highland in the next decade.

According to data from the General Administration of Customs and industry research institutions, China's total power equipment exports in January-February 2025 reached 13.955 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 32.64%, of which transformer exports increased by 67.87%, insulators increased by 35.51%, and circuit breakers increased by 22.25%. Global grid investment is expected to exceed US$450 billion in 2025, doubling from 2020, with ultra-high voltage (>230kV) investment accounting for more than 25%. The markets in Africa, the Middle East and Southeast Asia have grown significantly, and Europe and North America have strong demand for smart grid equipment, driving the continued expansion of China's power equipment exports.
Investment in renewable energy in the African market continues to heat up. The South African government recently approved several large-scale photovoltaic power station projects with a total installed capacity of more than 500MW, which are expected to be connected to the grid in 2026. Chinese companies have successfully won bids for multiple sections with their cost-effective components and EPC experience. Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda jointly launched a cross-border high-voltage transmission project, using 400kV technical standards to promote regional power trading. The project has a strong demand for high-voltage cables, insulators and intelligent substation equipment.
Photovoltaic storage projects in the Middle East market are accelerating. Saudi Arabia plans to achieve 58GW of photovoltaic installed capacity by 2030, and the new installed capacity is expected to reach 12GW in 2024. Chinese photovoltaic companies are accelerating the layout of localized production capacity to meet market demand. Dubai launched the world's largest photovoltaic storage integrated project (1.2GW photovoltaic + 800MWh energy storage), using Chinese inverters and energy storage systems, and is expected to be put into operation in 2027.
Under the wave of global energy transformation and grid upgrades, the export of power equipment will continue to maintain strong growth. Our company will grasp the infrastructure needs in Africa and the Middle East, strengthen new energy business, expand the "photovoltaic + energy storage" solution, target photovoltaic storage projects in Africa and the Middle East, and accelerate the breakthrough in the European and American markets, speed up the UL and CSA certification process, adapt to NEMA standards, and enhance market competitiveness.

On March 25, 2025, the 34th DistribuTECH exhibition in the United States, the world's top power transmission and distribution industry event, opened grandly at the Dallas Convention and Exhibition Center. As a power equipment export company with deep roots in the African, Middle Eastern and Asian markets, our team brought core products such as Pole Mounted Transformer, Pad Mounted Transformer, Cutout, Surge Arrester, and other core products to the stage. They also simultaneously displayed innovative applications such as power fittings, clamps, switches, etc., comprehensively displaying efficient and intelligent power solutions customized for the European and American markets, marking the company's market globalization strategy entering a new stage.
Among the core products exhibited this time, the pad mounted transformer uses an amorphous alloy core, and the no-load loss is 65% lower than that of traditional silicon steel sheets, which meets the US UL energy efficiency standards; integrated temperature monitoring and remote-control systems support seamless connection with smart grids and adapt to North American AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) requirements. Applied to distributed energy access in urban power distribution networks and industrial and commercial parks. The pole mounted transformer is fully sealed, dustproof, and waterproof with IP67 rating, and can withstand extreme climates of -40℃ to 45℃; the compact structure saves space and is designed for the transformation of old power grids and rural electrification. Cutout fuses are available in two versions: porcelain insulators and polymer composite materials, with a short-circuit breaking capacity of 16kA; equipped with a visible break indicator to reduce the operating risks of operation and maintenance personnel. The surge arrester zinc oxide valve plate residual pressure ratio is reduced by 20%, and the response time is ≤25ns, meeting the IEEE C62.11 standard.
DistribuTECH is a key step to open the European and American markets. We will continue the quality gene of zero failures in previous projects with "non-standard experience + European and American standards" and help the energy transformation of Europe and the United States with customized and cost-effective solutions.

In March 2025, our company's high-standard power equipment testing laboratory was officially put into use. The laboratory is equipped with a full set of intelligent testing equipment, covering 6 major categories such as wires and cables, transformers, insulators, and distribution cabinets, and 200+ key performance tests to ensure that every product going overseas is "delivered with zero defects" and help customers cope with global complex working conditions such as high temperature, high humidity, and salt spray.
The tensile testing machine (0-500kN) simulates 30 years of wind vibration and ice loads, and tests the tensile strength and fatigue life of steel-core aluminum stranded wire, pull rods, and pre-twisted wires; the wire clamp grip test is accurate to ±1%, eliminating the hidden danger of "slippage" of transmission lines.
The AC withstand voltage test device (100kV) simulates lightning strikes and operating overvoltages, and detects the partial discharge of insulators and bushings (≤5pC is qualified); the DC high-voltage generator (±200kV) verifies the insulation stability of cables and lightning arresters in humid and dirty environments.
No matter you are in the African desert, the Southeast Asian rainforest or the Middle Eastern oil field, Seatrust Power will always be your reliable "quality gatekeeper".

On March 17, 2025, our company welcomed a technical delegation from the Rwanda OAF & RICA project to conduct a week-long factory acceptance test (FAT) on core products such as disconnectors, transformers, stay rods, preformed armor rods, clamps, insulators, cables, and steel strands. This acceptance marks the entry of the project into the critical stage before delivery. This critical stage ensures that all deliverables meet the strict technical specifications and operational requirements for Rwanda's power infrastructure upgrade. The two parties have injected solid guarantees for Rwanda's power grid upgrade through zero-distance technical verification.
The head of the Rwandan delegation said: "The OAF & RICA project is an important part of Rwanda's rural electrification plan. The power equipment tailored for complex terrain has demonstrated excellent engineering adaptation capabilities. The rigorous process of this FAT makes us full of confidence in the implementation of the project."
This cooperation is not only product delivery, but also a microcosm of our company's implementation of the "African Energy Partnership Program", which will accelerate the realization of Rwanda's goal of universal electrification by 2035 and illuminate millions of households.
On March 17, 2025, with the completion of the sealing of the last batch of containers, our company's customized power equipment for South Sudan's 33kV substation and power distribution expansion project was officially shipped.

In order to respond to the needs of overseas customers more intuitively, focus on the essence of the product, and create a "visible and tangible" product selection experience, our company's newly upgraded power equipment sample room will be officially opened in March 2025!
Abandoning complicated decorations, with "intuitive display + functional focus" as the core, through the design of perforated board modular display wall, scene-based booths, etc., six major categories of products such as wires and cables, power fittings, insulators, etc. are concentratedly presented, allowing customers to "understand the specifications at a glance and feel the quality at first hand".
The 12-meter-long modular perforated board wall system displays more than 200 standard parts of power fittings and insulators. From tension clamps to suspension couplings, from porcelain insulators to composite crossarms, all products are displayed in open hanging. You can freely take and place samples, and compare the casting process, connection structure and surface treatment differences of different models through real objects.
In the central display area, we use industrial-grade crystal resin sealing technology to make permanent specimens of the cross sections of 35 types of wires and cables. Through the magnifying glass device, the conductor twisting tightness, insulation layer thickness and shielding layer weaving process can be clearly observed. Each specimen is equipped with a concise technical signboard, marking key parameters such as model specifications, conductivity, temperature resistance level, etc.

Recently, the African energy market has continued to send growth signals. According to the outcome document of the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, China pledged to add 30 new clean energy projects in Africa in the next three years, focusing on supporting photovoltaic, wind power and grid infrastructure upgrades. Data from the World Resources Institute shows that 600 million people in sub-Saharan Africa still face power shortages and are in urgent need of efficient power transmission and distribution equipment and renewable energy solutions. Against this background, China-Africa power cooperation projects are accelerating. For example, Ethiopia is improving the power supply capacity in remote areas through rural power grid transformation, and its demand for power poles, hardware and cables has increased significantly.
At the same time, in order to attract foreign investment, many African countries have introduced incentive policies, including tax exemptions, localized production subsidies and credit enhancement financing mechanisms to reduce corporate investment risks. There are also two major trends in the construction of African power grids:
1.Intelligent transformation: The demand for smart meters, remote meter reading systems and distribution network automation equipment has surged, promoting the application of power Internet of Things technology.
2.Green standard improvement: International organizations require power equipment to comply with environmental protection standards such as IEC and ASTM, and insulators, power hardware, etc. must have corrosion resistance and high insulation performance.
The wave of energy transformation in Africa has brought historic opportunities to power equipment export companies. At the same time, our company will continue to focus on technological advantages and localized services to provide African customers with cost-effective and highly reliable products, and support the "African Light Belt" plan and rural electrification goals. We welcome global partners to inquire about cooperation and jointly explore the new blue ocean of green energy!
