K2 Transformers & Motors

K2 Transformers & Motors is an electrical manufacturing business at Area 29, plot 181, in Lilongwe, Malawi. A 2022 feasibility study on manufacturing energy-efficient distribution transformers in Malawi, prepared under a Green Climate Fund readiness project with technical assistance from the UN Climate Technology Centre and Network, describes K2 Transformers as a local company that manufactures, repairs and services distribution transformers with rated capacities from 16 kVA to 3.5 MVA. The study gives the typical ratings of the units it supplies as 16, 25, 50, 100, 200, 315, 500 and 800 kVA, and notes that K2 supplied transformers for Community Energy Malawi's off-grid solar mini-grid project in Mchinji. Distribution transformers step down the voltage of the power network to the level used by homes and businesses. In Malawi, the transmission and distribution network is run by the state-owned Electricity Supply Corporation of Malawi (ESCOM). Lilongwe has been Malawi's capital since 1975 and is the country's largest city. It was laid out as a series of numbered areas, and addresses there are commonly written as an area number followed by a plot number. Its product range, prices and ordering arrangements have not been published online, so it is worth phoning ahead before travelling.
