“We are keeping up with the evolution of the energy sector and investing in the technological adequacy of our products to the Brazilian reality. The GEAFOL LITE model maintains the technology of the renowned GEAFOL transformers, but the LITE line is more economically accessible, adding even more value to all operations,” says the executive.

Advancement of Renewable Energies Will Increase Demand for Siemens Energy Transformer

Vagner also expects a significant increase in demand for this type of solution due to the advancement of renewable energies and the decentralization of energy generation, as the transformer can also serve Brazil’s solar generation segment.

“In the future, this enormous solar market could place the country at the center of the debate on sustainable development, given that Brazil has the second-largest solar photovoltaic generation potential on the planet. Our solution anticipates an energy trend in Brazil.”

Sustainable Technology

The transformer developed by Siemens Energy offers an ecological advantage, as 94% of the equipment’s composition can be recycled and returned to the production chain after its usage cycle. It does not generate toxic and contaminating waste.

This technology aligns with Siemens Energy’s goal of reducing its ecological footprint, promoting a low-carbon economy both internally and externally, and integrating its business with Sustainable Development Goal 13 (Climate Action) set by the United Nations.

The executive notes that the transformer is flame-resistant and self-extinguishing, providing greater safety for users. “The design of a safe and non-harmful product to the environment allows its installation inside electrical rooms without the need for firebreak walls, ensuring people’s safety. Another possibility is outdoor installation, with IP43 or IP54 enclosures, without the need for civil construction investment.”
