WEG contributes to the increase of renewable energy sources in the world, providing solutions for the segment, as well as expanding its market share at global level. An example of this was a supply of step up substations and transformer made to a multinational energy sector company for five solar and wind power plants of more than 962.7 MW. 

The substations provided by WEG for these five projects are complete turnkey solutions including preliminary study about the project, definition of a customer-dedicated solution, project management, construction and assembly. For customer satisfaction, WEG counts of a qualified and trained staff with proven experience, having delivered and operated more than 430 substations at all voltage levels up to 550 kV.
