Intelligent power management company Eaton announced the successful completion of a $100 million expansion project at its Nacogdoches, Texas, manufacturing facility.
The Eaton investment more than doubles its U.S. production capacity of voltage regulators and three-phase transformers, meeting growing global demand for the company’s solutions, accelerating grid modernization.
Eaton begins production at newly expanded Texas manufacturing facility, helping utilities accelerate critical grid modernization projects.
To mark the milestone, Eaton welcomed representatives from Oncor, Texas’ largest energy delivery company, at its Nacogdoches facility. Oncor will receive the first shipment of voltage regulators from the new production lines.
“Having worked with Oncor for decades as both a valued customer and trusted collaborator, our organization is extremely grateful for their support,” said Guillaume Laur, Eaton senior vice president – Power Delivery and Regulation. “It is an honor to see our grid modernization solutions immediately being put to work in our community – and soon around the world – to help advance energy resilience, reliability and security.”
