Examples: > The supply chain for grid components is even tighter now than it was earlier this year, Robinson said. The lead time for large-scale transformers is 90 weeks on average and the lead time for distribution transformers is six to nine months, she said. * https://www.spglobal.com/commodityinsights/en/market-insights/latest-news/electric-power/101322-despite-incentives-us-manufacturers-still-could-fall-short-of-renewable-grid-demand https://www.spglobal.com/commodityinsights/en/market-insight... > “I deal with a number of different clients on the utility side and about a year ago we started to see lead times from transformer manufacturers creep up.
