Westrafo recently announced plans to open a transformer production facility in Trotwood, Ohio.
The new site “is going to be built according the latest construction technologies with the aim to become a point of reference for the production of medium voltage transformers and energy solutions in the U.S. market,” said Italy-based Westrafo.
Production is expected to start in July 2025. The facility is expected to reach a production output of 12 GW per year starting from 2027.
Earlier this year, Siemens Energy said it is expanding its operations in Charlotte, N.C., with a large power transformer manufacturing and service facility.
This will be Siemens Energy’s first power transformer manufacturing and refurbishment facility in the U.S.
Siemens Energy’s $150 million investment will lead to the production of 24 new large power transformers initially, and ultimately increase to 57 units per year when the plant begins operating at full capacity.
