Tại sao nó quan trọng đối với vật liệu
Electrification is a grid problem before it is anything else. Every new wind farm, solar field, factory and data centre needs conductors, transformers and switchgear — and transformers need grain-oriented electrical steel, which is itself a constrained product.
