Power grids are being rewired at record speed, with a 50% year on year surge in new transmission lines and a multi trillion dollar investment drumbeat that points to years of heavy spending on cables, transformers and grid tech. Investors watching this shift risk missing it if attention stays fixed on old energy stories. This article walks through three stocks exposed to that news backdrop and why each could matter for a long term portfolio.
The stocks covered next are only a small sample of the electric grid infrastructure and equipment space, and the full screen on Simply Wall St surfaced 27 more companies with equally compelling stories that are not covered in this article. To go straight to the broader opportunity set, use the Electric Grid Infrastructure & Equipment screener to analyze, filter and identify which grid focused plays best fit your own portfolio rules.

Electrical Industries (SASE:1303)
Overview: Electrical Industries manufactures transformers, compact substations, low voltage panels and switchgear that form core hardware for power grid transmission and distribution build outs.
Operations: Electrical Industries generates about SAR2.6b from manufacturing, assembly and supply activities and SAR123 million from services, primarily within Saudi Arabia.
Market Cap: SAR12.1b
Electrical Industries provides focused exposure to grid hardware, from transformers to compact substations, in a region investing heavily in electricity infrastructure. Earnings and revenue are both forecast to grow at double digit rates, and the stock trades on a P/E below the wider Asian electrical sector. However, a key funding dependence remains the main factor that could influence future pricing power and returns.
That funding hinge makes it worth reviewing the 3 key rewards and 1 important major warning sign to see how Electrical Industries’ growth story could accelerate or stall from here
Sanil Electric (KOSE:A062040)
Overview: Sanil Electric manufactures high voltage transformers and reactors for power grids and renewable projects in Korea and overseas.
