🇨🇦 Transformer Industry — Canada
Canada is a 60 Hz North American market with large hydro, a strong grid and growing demand from electrification, renewables and data centres. Provincial utilities (Hydro-Québec, BC Hydro, etc.) buy transformers to ANSI/IEEE standards, and the country has a capable domestic OEM/component base.
