Budget estimate

$500,000 – $2,000,000

Based on typical pricing for utility‑grade three‑phase transformers in the 18‑30 MVA range, the unit cost can vary widely from roughly $500,000 for lower‑capacity models to $2 million for higher‑capacity, fully‑specified units. Factors influencing the final price include the exact MVA rating selected, required custom specifications, delivery distance, and any ancillary services (testing, warranty, training). Thus a reasonable estimate for this single‑unit procurement would fall between $500 k and $2 M.
