Hitachi Energy Invests in Building a New Transformer Factory in Pindamonhangaba (SP) to Double Its Production in Brazil and Meet the Demand for Renewable Energy and Data Centers.

Hitachi Energy has confirmed the start of construction of a new factory for high-power electrical transformers in Pindamonhangaba (SP), with an expected completion date in 2028.

The strategic location in the Paraíba Valley — between São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro and close to ports — was essential for the choice, while the project aims to meet the growing demand for energy infrastructure, especially for renewable energy and data centers.

Strategic Expansion: New Hitachi Energy Factory in Brazil

The new unit will be the third factory of the company in the country, joining the existing ones in Guarulhos (SP) and Blumenau (SC).

The initial project foresees an area of 46,300 m² and potential to create around 450 direct jobs and 1,800 indirect jobs in the region.

Focusing on meeting the demand for high-power transformers, the new factory will come into play at a time of expansion of electrical grids, essential for the energy transition.

These equipment are fundamental for both energy transmission and distribution as well as for supporting data centers, which are needed to operate artificial intelligence and modern technology.

Strategic Location and Operational Timeline

The factory will be built in Pindamonhangaba, chosen for its proximity to urban centers, highways, and important ports, such as Itaguaí and Santos. This location favors logistics and supplies.

The timeline foresees full operation by 2028.

This investment marks a significant expansion of Hitachi Energy in Brazil, reinforcing its role in the energy transition and supporting the national grid.

With this new factory, the company will increase its production capacity and serve strategically growing sectors — such as renewables and technology — while generating jobs and development in the Paraíba Valley.

Another point highlighted by the company is the environmental commitment. The new factory in Pindamonhangaba will be built with a focus on energy efficiency and carbon emission reduction.

Hitachi Energy aims to support the global transition to a more sustainable electric system by investing in solutions that integrate renewable sources, such as solar and wind, into the transmission grids.

The company has already indicated that the facility will be equipped with cutting-edge technologies for manufacturing more efficient transformers, capable of reducing energy losses and meeting the growing demand for reliability in the electric system.

History of Hitachi Energy in Brazil

Present in Brazil for decades, Hitachi Energy already has a factory in Guarulhos (SP), dedicated to electrical equipment and digital solutions.

The new factory in Pindamonhangaba will complement this structure, increasing production capacity and reinforcing the country’s role as an export center for other markets in Latin America.

This movement follows the global trend of the company, which has increased investments in strategic regions to address a rapidly transforming energy sector.

Currently, the country is among the largest producers of clean energy, with emphasis on hydro, wind, and solar sources.

With the growing demand for more sustainable and reliable electricity, Hitachi Energy’s new unit reinforces Brazil’s importance on the global energy map.

Additionally, it brings direct benefits to the industry, consumers, and society by promoting innovation, sustainability, and economic development.

History of Hitachi Energy in Brazil

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

At over 8,800 meters above sea level, the summit of Mount Everest is made up of rocks that originated at the bottom of an ocean about 500 million years ago and were pushed to the highest point on Earth by the collision of tectonic plates.

Less than a Tera TSI, up to 710 km of range and charging in 9 minutes: the new BYD Song Ultra expands the Chinese brand’s bet on increasingly faster, more technological, and competitively priced electric SUVs.

The new fastest-growing profession in Brazil in 2026 pays up to 20,000 reais per month, does not require a diploma, and consists of writing precise instructions for artificial intelligences that entire companies depend on to operate.

China showcases laser defense systems that target drones flying very low and attempts to address a flaw that has been concerning armies worldwide.

Chevrolet Suburban Z71 lands in Brazil with a V8 engine, off-road design, air suspension, seven seats, and colossal size, a rare version imported for around R$ 1.3 million with luxury and exclusivity.

Less than a Tera TSI, up to 710 km of range and charging in 9 minutes: the new BYD Song Ultra expands the Chinese brand’s bet on increasingly faster, more technological, and competitively priced electric SUVs.

With a cost per shot close to zero, the DragonFire laser could change naval warfare in 2027 and provide British ships with nearly unlimited defense against drones.

A British startup creates tires that generate electricity in electric vehicles when passing over potholes, speed bumps, and cracks.

Oldest tree on the planet reappears after 130 years of searches: Wattieza, 385 million years old, was 10 meters tall and had no leaves or seeds; Gilboa fossils in New York solved the mystery in 2007.

Scientists have created robots made with living cells that have their own nervous system, swim on their own, explore the environment, and self-organize without any genetic engineering, and now they want to do the same with human cells.
