LS Electric (010120) will participate in a power infrastructure exhibition in Germany, unveiling total power solutions as it moves to target Europe's energy market.
LS Electric said Tuesday that it will participate in the energy exhibition "EM-Power 2026," to be held in Munich, Germany, from the 23rd to the 25th. "EM-Power 2026" is one of the key exhibitions of "The smarter E Europe," Europe's largest energy exhibition, specializing in future power system fields such as smart power grids and transmission and distribution infrastructure.
Under the theme of "A Total Solution Partner Completing Smarter Power Systems," LS Electric will present ultra-high-voltage transformers, molded transformers, and direct-current distribution solutions. The company plans to introduce products and solutions covering the entire power system, from ultra-high voltage to medium and low voltage, allowing customers to directly verify its competitiveness in total power solutions.
At the front of the exhibition hall, LS Electric will place a 132kV-class 90MVA ultra-high-voltage transformer to highlight its strength in this field. Earlier this year, LS Electric signed a 62 billion won contract to supply 400kV-class ultra-high-voltage transformers with a German energy company, accelerating its push into the European ultra-high-voltage market. Alongside this, the company will also unveil a 1,500kVA molded transformer and a 35kV-class high-voltage switchgear (MCSG). In November last year, LS Electric became the first in Korea to obtain Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) certification for distribution molded transformers, establishing a bridgehead for entering Europe's eco-friendly market.
Amid growing demand for eco-friendly power equipment in Europe, LS Electric plans to target the European market by applying technology to phase out and replace the insulation component materials of all power equipment with "halogen-free" materials within the year.
In addition, at the exhibition, the company plans to directly introduce direct-current (DC) package solutions, which have risen with the expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) data centers, to European customers, demonstrating its leadership in future power technology.
LS Electric plans to fully target the European market, where electrification policies are being expanded to achieve carbon neutrality along with the replacement of aging power grids, by leveraging these eco-friendly and high-efficiency solutions. According to the European Commission, for major EU countries to achieve carbon neutrality, approximately 584 billion euros (about 930 trillion won) in power grid investment will be required by 2030. In addition, by 2040, total investment of about 1.2 trillion euros (about 1,900 trillion won) is estimated to be needed, including 730 billion euros (about 1,279 trillion won) for distribution networks and 477 billion euros (about 836 trillion won) for transmission networks.
"Through this exhibition, we will emphasize our competitiveness in total power solutions ranging from ultra-high voltage to distribution, and further solidify our brand standing in the European market," an LS Electric official said. "We will strengthen our lineup of eco-friendly and high-efficiency solutions, for which demand is surging in the European market, and fully accelerate our push into Europe, our next-generation strategic market following North America."
