The trace

How it reaches your house.

Starting from BP plc, we walked the supply graph hop by hop to the goods you buy and the companies you own. Each step is the engine’s reasoning, scored for confidence and cited where a source backs it.

First impact
Hitachi Energy Ltd. (formerly ABB Power Grids) →Prices rise
Large Power Transformers (LPTs) & Generator Step-Up Units
Essar's large UK low-carbon buildout should lift demand for Hitachi Energy's transformer equipment, and this input has a long 30-month replacement lead time with only moderate substitutability, which should push its cost up.
52% confidence
Hop 2
Large Power Transformers (LPTs) & Generator Step-Up Units →Stands to benefit
Hyundai Electric & Energy Systems267260.KS
UK energy-transition buildout should raise demand for LPTs/GSUs, and Hyundai Electric's 25% supply share plus 24-month replacement lead time make it a strong beneficiary.
74% confidence
Large Power Transformers (LPTs) & Generator Step-Up Units →Stands to benefit
South Korea
South Korea accounts for 25% of supply for this input, so its transformer manufacturing base benefits from higher UK-driven demand.
72% confidence
Large Power Transformers (LPTs) & Generator Step-Up Units →Stands to benefit
Hop 3
Hyundai Electric & Energy Systems →Shortage risk
Large Power Transformers (LPTs) & Generator Step-Up Units
A large U.K. energy-transition buildout should increase orders for LPTs/GSUs, and Hyundai Electric's ~25% market share with 24-month replacement lead times suggests this equipment market tightens near term.
74% confidence
Siemens Energy AG →Prices rise
Large Power Transformers (LPTs) & Generator Step-Up UnitsENR
Essar’s large UK energy-transition buildout likely raises demand for grid hardware, tightening the long-lead-time LPT/GSU input Siemens Energy relies on and pushing costs higher.
61% confidence
CG Power and Industrial Solutions →Prices rise
