Siemens is Scaling Up Investment in U.S. Grid

February 03, 2026

Siemens Energy has committed to investing $1 billion to ramp up manufacturing in the United States and will also significantly expand its workforce.

Siemens Energy plans several capacity expansions at its plants in North Carolina, Florida, Alabama, New York, and Texas, to increase production and servicing of transformers, grid and turbine components, and large gas turbines.

The company will also build a brand-new factory in Greater Richland Area in Mississippi that will build essential grid components.

Siemens Energy on Tuesday announced it is scaling up its capabilities in the United States with a $1-billion investment in grid and gas turbine equipment to support the strong growth of the U.S. electricity market.

Siemens Energy has committed to investing $1 billion to ramp up manufacturing in the United States and will also significantly expand its workforce.

“The United States is experiencing an unparalleled surge in electricity demand,” mostly due to AI infrastructure, data centers, and next generation industrial electrification, Siemens Energy said today.

“Meeting this growth requires the accelerated deployment of modern, resilient grid infrastructure and a substantial increase in power generation capacity – ambitions to which Siemens Energy will make a significant contribution,” the company noted.

“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,” said Christian Bruch, CEO and President of Siemens Energy.

“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.”

Despite the Administration’s policies, bottlenecks in the supply chain of critical electrical equipment have so far hindered superfast new gas plant construction.

Soaring demand for electrical materials and equipment, such as transformers and switchgear, is pressuring the sector, which has already become notorious for the long lead times on project execution, analysts at energy consultancy Wood Mackenzie said last year.
