Big Beaver Borough Switchgear Manufacturing Facility

Mitsubishi Electric Power Products, Inc. is building a new switchgear and power-equipment manufacturing facility in Big Beaver Borough / New Galilee, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, with completion targeted for July 2026 and an expected 200 new permanent jobs. AFT records the 200 new jobs only and excludes retained employees. Facility-specific investment is treated as unknown: the publicly cited $86 million figure covers a multi-site program and upgrades rather than this facility alone, so it is excluded from AFT's disclosed investment.

Why this project qualifies

With 200 permanent operating jobs announced, this project clears AFT's 100-permanent-job threshold (AFT includes any project meeting $100 million in facility-specific investment OR 100 permanent operating jobs). This project also meets AFT's primary-source verification and physical U.S. manufacturing-footprint requirements.

Why it matters

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.
