Virginia Transformer recently delivered a power transformer to the Vega 5 solar energy project in Folsom, California. The 30/50 MVA, 92/34.5 kV generator step-up unit designed with a 60-year service life will help deliver solar energy to the electrical grid.

The Vega 5 solar facility is part of the Vega SES Complex, which is a wider project of photovoltaic solar energy and battery storage infrastructure under construction in Imperial County, California. Upon completion, the Vega SES Complex will consist of a 350 megawatt alternating current PV solar energy facility with an integrated 350 megawatt battery storage system, along with on-site substations, interconnection facilities, associated electrical equipment, and access roads. 

Virginia Transformer is proud to support the Vega 5 solar facility and other renewable energy projects. Congratulations to all involved in engineering, shipping, and installing this unit!
