Hitachi Energy, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi, announced an investment of more than $1 billion to expand the production of electrical grid infrastructure in the United States. These investments include approximately $457 million for a new large power transformer facility in South Boston, Virginia, along with significant expansions of existing facilities throughout the country.
This facility will be built alongside Hitachi Energy’s existing campus and will be the largest manufacturing site for large power transformers in the United States. This facility alone will create more than 825 new jobs in Southside Virginia, offering long-term employment opportunities in engineering, advanced manufacturing, and operations roles.
These projects are part of a more than $9 billion USD global investment program, the largest in the industry, under which Hitachi Energy is expanding its manufacturing capacity, R&D, engineering, and partnerships to power the world’s energy system to be more reliable, secure, and resilient.
