Renewable Energy
Wind Power
In July 2022, WEG announced the release of a new wind turbine platform with 7 MW power and 172 meters of blade rotor diameter. This wind turbine will become the largest machine in operation in the Brazilian market. More powerful and efficient, the new model brings greater generation to wind projects.
Solar Power
WEG established itself as one of the main suppliers of products and solutions for solar plants in Brazil, bringing efficiency that drives sustainability in cities, industries, agribusiness and homes across the country. WEG has a vast portfolio of products for all the stages of photovoltaic solar generation projects, with solutions for the energy conversion and internal distribution system, from the plant to the point of connection to the electrical system through high voltage substations.
Hydroelectric Generation
WEG was selected to supply the generators for São Roque Hydroelectric Power Plant, located in the city of Vargem-SC. The generators are one of the most important parts of the enterprise for São Roque Hydroelectric Power Plant. With 285 tons each and approximately eight meters in diameter, this equipment is among the largest electric hydrogenerators ever produced by WEG.
São Roque Hydroelectric Power Plant has an installed capacity of 142 MW, which, on average, is enough to supply a city with approximately 170,000 inhabitants. The generators started commercial operation in July 2022.
Commercial and Industrial Energy Storage
Energy storage systems are used in commercial or industrial facilities, being the complete solution for storage and management of electrical energy. They can be configured to perform various functions in smart systems for generation, transmission and distribution of electric energy. The system is composed of an energy control and management solution, and it is mainly recommended for applications in systems installed behind the meter in industries, stores, shopping malls, residential condominiums and electric mobility infrastructure.
Transformers for Renewable Energy
The reliability of the transformers developed for solar plants aims at guaranteeing the supply of energy, allowing access to electricity through renewable energy generation sources. In the line of transformers for wind farms, WEG developed an extremely compact electrical and mechanical transformer design. Additionally, due to the installation layout, in which the source and the transforming unit are very close to each other, the system produces smaller losses and greater energy efficiency.
Electrical Mobility
Integrated solutions for electric vehicles
WEG continually develops innovative technologies to create electric traction systems, as well as all the electrical infrastructure necessary for the operation of electric vehicles. WEG electric traction systems can drive various road, rail and navigation vehicles, such as urban trucks and buses, vans, forklifts, trains, monorails, support vessels and tugboats.
Digital Solutions
Smart and sustainable systems
Smart systems are able to integrate different devices and machines, as well as installations and processes, promoting efficiency in decision-making and increasing operational efficiency. Smarter solutions and systems also promote more efficient use of energy resources helping reduce the carbon footprint of operations at all levels.

Por otro lado, la solución WEG Power Transformer Specialist es una solución digital aplicada en el monitoreo y en la gestión de transformadores de potencia que, integrada a la plataforma WEG Transformer Fleet Management, centraliza las señales de una serie de sensores instalados en el equipo.
WEG Motion Fleet Management
Desarrollado para llevar más practicidad y agilidad a la operación, en el mantenimiento y en la gestión de plantas industriales, el WEG Motion Fleet Management es la solución ideal para monitorear y elevar la disponibilidad de la flota de accionamiento industrial. Basado en tecnología “cloud computing”, el monitoreo de los activos puede ser seguido en cualquier momento y desde cualquier parte del mundo. Con el Motion Fleet Management es posible conocer el estado operacional de motores y drives (convertidores y arrancadores suaves) de baja y media tensión, reductores, motorreductores, compresores, entre otros activos que estén aplicados en cualquier tipo de industria o instalación
Ultra Low Bake (ULB) Technology for Coatings
The Ultra Low Bake (ULB) technology consists of reducing the curing time or curing temperature of powder coatings. Linked to this reduction in time or temperature (which can reach up to 35%) is the reduction in the amount of gas used in the curing ovens of customers and partners, lowering GHG emissions.
WEG partners who employ such technology in their production line, in addition to reducing environmental impact, have a significant increase in productivity and competitiveness. WEG has forty products developed for this purpose.
Material efficiency and environmental assessment of the product
In its value chain, WEG adopts initiatives in line with the principles of the circular economy, using practices that include the reuse of process residues as raw material, like stamping steel scrap used to make castings, and the adoption of programs to recover materials at the end of the product life cycle through reverse logistics and replacement plans.
The application of these concepts and practices allowed WEG to achieve a material efficiency rate close to 85%. WEG is also constantly improving and evolving the energy efficiency of its products and retrofit solutions to extend the service life of some product lines. Qualified teams work on the processes to develop new products, on the design of new lines and in the implementation of more efficient industrial processes.
WEG applies the LCA (Life Cycle Analysis) to generate the EPD (Environmental Product Declarations) according to the customers’ demands, intending, in the coming years, to expand the application of these tools.
