This week, Efacec attended the CIGRE Portugal Annual Congress, held at the Serralves Library in Porto. The event brought together experts representing the entire national energy sector, from industry to academia, to debate crucial issues for the future of Portugal and the world, such as decarbonisation, sustainability and the energy transition. Among the topics debated in the panels Efacec took part in were the challenges of decarbonisation, with a special focus on the role of industry and sharing Efacec's vision, challenges and innovative solutions for this sector. The company's latest innovations in the development of distribution transformers, essential to make electricity networks more efficient and sustainable, were also presented. The dynamic voltage regulator stood out, a pioneering technology that facilitates the integration of renewable energies into distribution networks. We are proud that Efacec continues to be part of the conversation on such highly relevant topics, reinforcing our commitment to innovation and the energy transition. A special thank you to CIGRE Portugal for the invitation and excellent organisation, as well as to the Fundação de Serralves for providing the fantastic venue. #Efacec #Decarbonisation #Innovation #Sustainability #EnergyTransition

The new photovoltaic power plant in Fundão, Portugal is already up and running! A project developed by Dos Grados Capital S.A. and to which Efacec contributed with the supply of a 120 MVA – 220/30 kV transformer, reinforcing its role as one of the key players in the energy transition panorama 🌱 This is an important step towards green energy production, since it will generate renewable energy equivalent to the annual consumption of 61,000 homes and businesses, as well as avoid the emission of 826,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year. 🎥 Watch the video and see how our transformer is already energising this new photovoltaic power plant. Congratulations to everyone involved in such an impactful project and let’s keep going for more! 💪 #transformers #energytransition #Efacec #EmpoweringTheFuture

Last week, Efacec participated in the Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto Career Fair, one of the largest in Portugal in the field of engineering, organised by FEUP talent and which aims to help visitors enter the job market 🚀 Daniela Martins, from our People Management team, and Eduardo Costa, Project Manager at Electric Mobility, took the opportunity to present all internship and job opportunities in different areas of engineering, as well as showcase our Public Charger G3 🔋 A distinct way to charge up the event and let students know a little bit more about our products and solutions in a fast-evolving area such as electric mobility.

After the substation along the Swannanoa River, in North Carolina, was severely damaged by hurricane Helene, a quick and reliable solution was needed to keep the community powered. #Efacec provided a 200,000-pound mobile substation to Duke Energy Corporation, ensuring nearly 7,000 people from Asheville’s Biltmore Village stay connected as the full rebuild takes place. The mobile substation, custom-designed for such critical situations, is now fully operational and delivering uninterrupted power to the area. We are proud to support communities through our solutions in times of need be a part of the effort to restore essential services as quickly and safely as possible. 🎥 Watch Duke Energy’s video as our mobile substation powers the region while the damaged substation awaits its full rebuild. #mobilesubstations #transformers #empoweringthefuture

After the successful participation at Innotrans 2024, in Berlin, Efacec has been selected by Banedanmark, Denmark’s #railway infrastructure manager, to supply two new battery train charging stations, following the contract signed in December 2023 with Midtjyske Jernbaner. Worth around 8 million euros, the contract obtained in consortium with Bravida includes the design and supply of two stations with 2.2MW of #power, to help ensure the operation of the new battery-powered trains on the Lemvig-Skjern-Holstebro line. This project consolidates Efacec’s presence in the Nordic market, demonstrating the company’s commitment to #innovative solutions towards a more promising tomorrow.

Last week, more than 100 wildfires broke out in the North and Centre of Portugal, causing injuries, deaths, damage to properties and more than 100,000 hectares burned. At Efacec, our people got together to donate dozens of goods to help the fire departments of some of the most affected regions in the country. An initiative that could only be successful with the volunteer firefighters of Efacec, who sorted and delivered the donations of all collaborators, showing once again how solidarity is part of our DNA. We stand in solidarity with all the population affected by the fires and are thankful for all the individuals, organisations and associations that took their time to try mitigating the consequences of this tragedy. #Solidarity #Efacec #EmpoweringTheFuture
