The Middle East and Africa are combining utility-scale solar, green-hydrogen pilots, and grid-hardening programs to open new procurement channels .
Key Developments:
Saudi Arabia's renewable roadmap generates orders for desert-rated transformers
UAE's USD 54 billion commitment drives demand for natural-ester-filled transformers with aluminum windings
Weight management on remote-site roads favors aluminum windings
South America: Demand centers on Brazil, where industrial expansion in mining and metals sparks upgrades to 230 kV substations and drives domestic manufacturing expansions, such as WEG's R$2.6 billion investment to expand transformer output .
