Siemens Energy Announces Expansion In North Carolina, Due to President Trump’s Agenda
This week, Siemons Energy announced plans to expand its production of grid and gas turbine equipment in the United States to support the American energy market. The company plans to invest over $1 billion and create 1,5000 highly skilled jobs across the country.
Siemens Energy has been making things in the United States for more than a century and we are experiencing a once-in-a-generation growth opportunity due to the resurgence of U.S. manufacturing and the growth of artificial intelligence,” said Christian Bruch, CEO and President of Siemens Energy. “The current policy environment has contributed to this momentum. The Trump Administration has made energy security, a reliable and resilient grid, and growing U.S. manufacturing jobs a priority. This has supercharged the energy demand which is supporting new investments across the energy sector. We are excited to help write this next chapter of American energy expansion.”
This expansion includes increasing manufacturing and servicing capability for large power transformers and resuming gas turbine manufacturing in Charlotte, producing gas turbine parts in Winston-Salem; and expanding grid technology project execution, engineering and sales alongside research and development in Raleigh. The company plans to add 500 jobs to these three communities, while continuing partnerships with local trade schools and universities to develop and train the next generation of energy workers.
The Honorable Doug Burgum, United States Secretary of Interior and White House National Energy Dominance Chair, said: “This tremendous investment in a critical part of our power grid supply chain underscores President Trump’s success in expanding supply chain access and bringing major manufacturing back to America. We appreciate great partners like Siemens Energy, who proactively partner with the Trump administration for the benefit of the American people, prioritizing critical components to make the United States Energy Dominant!”
The Trump administration pointed to this announcement as an example of President’s economic agenda in action.
“This massive investment underscores President Trump’s commitment to reshore American manufacturing, create high-skilled jobs for American workers, and secure our power grid as electricity demand continues to grow. Together, President Trump and private partners are working to make America wealthy and energy dominant again.” - Taylor Rogers, WH Spokeswoman
