Brazil, São Paulo: WEG has formed a strategic partnership with Elea Data Centers, a sustainable data center platform with the widest geographical distribution in Brazil. The collaboration includes the supply of transformers which will power Elea’s 50 MW high-voltage site in São Paulo. This is part of the first phase of Elea’s $300 million investment in its data center project dedicated to Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Manufactured at WEG’s facilities in Gravataí, in southern Brazil, the transformers will be delivered in mid-2025. Data center transformers provide reliable power for high-demand AI equipment, meeting the specific needs of each site.
“As the only colocation provider with majority Brazilian capital, we believe it is essential to acquire Brazilian transformers, thereby supporting the national industry and strengthening the Latin American sector. WEG has proven to be the ideal partner for this project, thanks to its proven track record in large-scale industrial initiatives. The company’s transformers, designed with advanced features for efficiency, capacity, and sustainability, will strengthen our IT infrastructure and set a new standard for reliability and sustainability in data centers,” commented Alessandro Lombardi, president of Elea Data Centers.
“AI is already part of our daily lives: the electrical infrastructure behind these scenarios must be as reliable as possible because service continuity is essential. WEG has a significant presence in mission-critical systems. Our transformers are designed and manufactured with cutting-edge features to ensure the efficiency and reliability required for these applications. Elea’s demand for high-quality equipment, support for the local industry, and concern for greenhouse gas emissions drive WEG to contribute to a more innovative, sustainable, and efficient world, day after day,” said Carlos Diether Prinz, Global Managing Director of the Transmission and Distribution Business Unit at WEG.
