Gomero's SIPP prevented over 6,100 oil spills in 2025

In a year marked by storms, flooding and unpredictable weather, the need for robust technology that protects both power grids and the environment has never been clearer. Gomero's solution SIPP has once again proven to be a key component in preventing environmentally harmful oil spills at transformer stations.

With the help of SIPP, over 6,100 oil spills from oil containment pits were prevented in 2025 at transformer stations in Sweden, Norway, Finland, Germany, Italy and Australia. According to this year's drainage statistics, oil spills were stopped in approximately every 10th drainage.

SIPP continuously monitors oil containment pits for oil content, water level and temperature. The unique solution makes sure that transformer oil does not leak into nature and that rainwater automatically drained is free from contaminants.

The changing climate not only increases the strain on infrastructure, but also requires new ways of working. Functionality must be ensured even under extreme conditions.

Automated solutions like SIPP reduce the need for manual inspections, increasing staff safety and reducing emissions from transport for inspections and drainage.

One of SIPP's greatest strengths is its predictive technology, which enables early detection of problems before they escalate into costly failures. For grid operators, this means lower costs and lower environmental impact – a solution that balances economic efficiency with sustainable responsibility.

SIPP helps grid owners in the transition towards a smarter, more digitalised grid – doing so in a cost-effective and sustainable way that protects the environment and creates a resilient infrastructure for the future.
