Electrical Products

The electrical products sub-sector is a crucial asset to the country’s economy, fostering synergy across various sectors and empowering diverse businesses. It covers the manufacturing of electrical products and renewable energy devices, including electronic motors, generators, transformers, distribution apparatuses, switches, solar cells, modules, and balance of systems.

The current industry trend has shifted towards developing innovative, higher value-added products that integrate Industry 4.0 elements. A notable example includes IoT-embedded electrical products, such as smart asset monitoring for switchgear and smart metering.

MIDA welcomes investments, especially in the production of higher value-added products. We prioritise product quality, R&D efforts, cost-effectiveness, and contributions to the adoption of new technologies.
