DRVWhat's Driving Lead Time
Substation construction starts
w=0.82
Interconnection queue activity drove 3,200+ new substation starts in 2025 — front-loading GIS demand.
SF6 phase-out transition (EPA + EU F-gas)
w=0.78
OEM portfolio retooling for SF6-free dielectrics (g3, AirPlus) compressing legacy SF6 line capacity.
Aluminum & enclosure fabrication
w=0.50
Sheet aluminum and powder-coat capacity adequate; no material constraint observed Q4.
Semiconductor & relay components
w=0.45
Protection-relay component lead times normalizing; numerical relays back to 14–20 week baseline.
Vacuum interrupter supply (MV)
w=0.40
MV vacuum bottle supply recovered; recloser lead times improving fastest in the dataset.
