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.
