Hitachi Energy Commits $528M to Build Mississippi Transformer Plant
Crystal Springs, Mississippi – September 18, 2026 -- Hitachi Energy will build a $528 million transformer manufacturing facility in Gallman, Mississippi, marking the company's largest single U.S. investment to date and pushing its total American manufacturing commitment to roughly $1.5 billion.
New Gallman plant will more than double transformer output
The facility, located about 6.5 miles from Hitachi Energy's existing Crystal Springs plant, will be more than twice the size of the current site and create over 700 jobs, more than double the area's existing workforce. Construction is set to begin in late 2026, with transformer production scheduled to start in 2029. Once operational, production will shift from Crystal Springs to Gallman, with the older facility repurposed for warehousing and training.
