Founded as a specialist in dry-type transformers, Trafo Power Solutions has expanded its vision to become a leading provider of electrical power solutions in Africa. Managing Director, David Claassen explains how the company has leveraged its depth of expertise and growing reputation across many sectors to extend its range of offerings.

The Transmission and Distribution (T&D) of energy are the critical links connecting power generation facilities to electricity users. In sub-Saharan Africa, the quality and capacity of T&D infrastructure impact significantly on economic development and quality of life. Although progress has been made in expanding electrical grids, the region's infrastructure remains inadequate to meet growing demand or to achieve universal access.

As South Africa’s energy grid evolves towards using more privately generated power, there are growing opportunities for companies employing steam turbines for their own sites to boost revenue through electricity sales. Staying ahead of the trend, WEG Africa provides a full service offering to support this move.
