With $528 million in facility-specific investment and 654 permanent operating jobs announced, this project clears both of AFT's qualifying thresholds ($100 million in facility-specific investment OR 100 permanent operating jobs). It is also confirmed by official public sources and involves a physical manufacturing facility in the United States.
View full methodology →The electrical equipment & grid context.
Electrical Equipment & Grid tracks major U.S. factories producing the equipment required to generate, transmit, control, and distribute electricity — including transformers, switchgear, generators, turbines, cables, and other grid components. It distinguishes equipment manufacturing from power generation, utility construction, energy production, and service-only projects.
