WEG Africa explains how a maturing solar market is raising the bar for system integrators and installers, and what OEM support they need to stay competitive.

At Electra Mining Africa 2026, WEG Africa will showcase its top solutions services, and expertise built for the mining sector.

WEG and SpinDrive are collaborating to integrate SpinDrive’s AMBs and built-in IoT condition monitoring into WEG’s market-leading electric motor offering, creating an oil-free, maintenance-free drive solution.

Last year, Spain and Portugal lost up to 60% of their electrical power in mere seconds. It’s crucial that SA avoids a similar grid crisis, and battery energy storage systems are vital for that transition.

Traditional substations have major drawbacks in terms of their construction and resilience. One solution is the E-house, a prefabricated, customised and transportable steel structure designed to house a range of electrical and automation equipment.

South African companies are gearing up for the new Minimum Energy Performance Standards, part of a global trend towards energy-efficient electric motors.

Contrary to their reputation as noisy and dirty, generators are a key part of modern energy supplies. Generators are reliable electricity workhorses in times of need. But they are also becoming welcome additions to modern energy mixes through efficiency improvements, noise reduction and flexible design choices.

The International Efficiency 3 (IE3) motor standard will soon become South Africa’s legal minimum standard, mandating that local suppliers offer more efficient electric motors. What is driving this change, and how does it affect the many industries that rely on these modern electric workhorses?

Steam turbines represent mission-critical equipment for a range of industries, from sugar and paper to steel and petrochemicals, and there is now greater opportunity among these sectors to generate energy to sell into the national grid.
