The “strategic partnership” between the two companies will see WEG ramping a factory for turbines rated between 2.1MW-2.3MW in the state of Santa Catarina, with production slated to scale-up through 2014.
The companies did not reveal the scale of the planned factory.
The deal would appear to replace an agreement WEG previously had in place with Spanishwind-turbine maker M Torres, and hammers home WEG’s decision to continue playing in the Brazilian wind market after a period of uncertainty.
