Additional investments from Hitachi include $106M in Tennessee, $70M in Pennsylvania, and expansions at other Virginia sites. The company says the move builds a stronger domestic supply chain as data centers, electrification, and industrial growth drive record demand.
Energy Secretary Wright praised Hitachi’s investment and said the Trump administration “looks forward to continuing to partner with private industry to ensure the American people access to affordable, reliable, and secure energy and thousands of high-paying jobs.”
