Collaboration establishes exclusive distributorship and strengthens PA’s engineering capabilities through knowledge transfer. 

Singapore, 6 April 2026  Power Automation (PA), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SP Group, announced today that it has signed an exclusive distributorship agreement with global power solutions provider TBEA Co., Ltd. (TBEA), which will enable PA to expand its portfolio of power equipment and solutions in Singapore. 

PA is Singapore’s leading engineering services and technology solutions provider specialising in power systems automation and digitalisation. This collaboration builds on PA’s strong track record in Singapore’s power sector and supports its continued expansion of capabilities to serve utilities and infrastructure developers in Singapore. 

Under the agreement, PA will be the exclusive distributor to TBEA’s portfolio of primary power equipment and solutions in Singapore, including gas-insulated and air-insulated switchgear, power and distribution transformers, and reactors, which are critical components in the construction, expansion and upgrading of power networks. The partnership will also include technical training and knowledge transfer from TBEA to PA’s engineering team, strengthening local capabilities in in-market engineering, system integration, installation, testing, commissioning and lifecycle management. 

This complements PA’s existing strengths in grid automation, protection systems and digital monitoring & control solutions.  With the addition of TBEA’s primary power equipment, PA will be able to provide one stop support for power infrastructure projects with integrated physical and digital solution capabilities across the asset lifecycle. 

“Power networks are becoming increasingly complex as electricity demand grows, energy systems evolve, and the energy transition accelerates. Through this partnership with TBEA, PA will broaden the range of equipment and solutions we can bring to our customers, while strengthening our engineering and delivery capabilities. By combining TBEA’s equipment expertise with PA’s engineering and system integration capabilities, we are well positioned to support customers’ demand for the continued development of reliable and resilient power infrastructure in Singapore,” said Brandon Chia, Managing Director of PA. 

“We look forward to working closely with PA to deliver reliable, high-quality energy solutions to Singapore’s market, contributing to the country’s energy security and sustainable development goals. This collaboration also reflects the deepening economic and trade ties between China and Singapore, and we are proud to play a part in fostering bilateral cooperation in the energy sector,” said Li Bianqu, Director of TBEA Co. Ltd., Chairman of TBEA International Engineering & Contracting Company.
