Today, Hitachi Energy announced a major $106 million investment to expand its Alamo, Tennessee transformer manufacturing facility – creating 100 new jobs and making it the largest facility in North America producing transformer bushings and other key transformer components essential to securing America’s lead in the global AI race.
At an event at the facility in Crockett County today, they celebrated this momentous news alongside Tennessee Governor Bill Lee, U.S. Senator Bill Hagerty, U.S. Congressman David Kustoff, and dozens of other local officials and business leaders who’ve been invaluable partners for our growth in the state.
Demand for transformers is surging, along with the need for electricity, and Hitachi Energy is investing to meet the moment and provide the tools America needs to power its future.
Congressman David Kustoff said, “Today marks a pivotal day for Alamo and West Tennessee. Hitachi Energy’s $106 million investment to expand their transformer component facility is more than an economic boost, it is a transformative step toward securing our national infrastructure. This expansion, adding over 60,000 square feet and creating more than 100 new jobs, underscores our region’s resilience and readiness to power America’s energy future. Proud to stand with Hitachi Energy in delivering opportunity and stability to our community.”
