Mitsubishi Power Americas to Add 450,000 Square Feet in $490 Million Savannah Expansion

Mitsubishi Power Americas will invest $490 million in expanding its Savannah Machinery Works facility, adding 450,000 square feet and more than 220 new jobs, the company said. The Financial Post carried the announcement, which the company said supports rising power generation demand across the Americas.

Mitsubishi Power's Savannah Machinery Works Buildout

Mitsubishi Power Americas designs and services large-scale gas turbine, combined-cycle and hydrogen-ready power generation equipment, plus battery energy storage through its Prevalon Energy joint venture, for utilities, data center operators and industrial customers across the Americas. The company is the regional entity of Mitsubishi Power, a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.

The expansion will add machining capacity, advanced manufacturing technologies, increased material flow efficiency and future-ready production infrastructure at the Pooler, Georgia site, which combines manufacturing with port and rail access at the intersection of I-95 and I-16. The project is expected to create roles across manufacturing, engineering, quality, maintenance, logistics and support functions.

"Savannah has been a critical hub for Mitsubishi Power since 2010, and we are excited to deepen our commitment to the local community with the expansion of Savannah Machinery Works," said Brandon Bodie, Vice President, Savannah Machinery Works.

The announcement coincided with the signing of an expansion framework agreement between Mitsubishi Power Americas and the Savannah Economic Development Authority. Mitsubishi Power Americas first broke ground on the facility in September 2009, completed construction of the 430,000 square-foot plant in September 2010, and shipped its first U.S.-produced gas turbine from Savannah in October 2012. In June 2023, the facility marked the manufacture and shipment of its 50th advanced-class gas turbine.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries reported fiscal 2026 revenue of ¥4.97 trillion, up 14.1%, and business-activity profit of ¥432.2 billion, up 21.8%, according to Benzinga.
