投资逾7100万美元 尼亚加拉电力变压器扩建动工 产能将提升五成
2026年10月22日，纽约州州长凯西·霍楚宣布，尼亚加拉电力变压器公司（Niagara Power Transformer）投资超过7100万美元的扩建项目已经动工。
根据州长办公室当天发布的新闻稿，扩建完成后，该公司生产能力将提升50%，项目将支持近220个就业岗位，并有助于加强关键电网设备在美国国内的供应。变压器是电网现代化中的核心设备，近年来随着用电需求增长和设备更新，美国国内变压器供应持续偏紧。
州政府表示，这一扩建项目落地纽约州，既能扩大本土制造能力，也能为当地带来制造业岗位。霍楚当天还公布了多项经济与基建消息，包括2亿美元水务基建拨款。尼亚加拉电力变压器此次扩建的具体投产时间表，公司方面未在州长办公室新闻稿中进一步披露，后续产能释放进度值得关注。

Niagara Power Transformer Breaks Ground on Expansion of More Than $71 Million, Raising Capacity by 50 Percent
On October 22, 2026, New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced that Niagara Power Transformer's expansion project, an investment of more than $71 million, has broken ground.
According to the governor's office news release issued the same day, once complete the expansion will increase the company's production capacity by 50 percent, support nearly 220 jobs, and help strengthen the domestic U.S. supply of critical grid equipment. Transformers are core equipment in grid modernization, and domestic supply has remained tight in recent years as electricity demand grows and aging equipment is replaced.
The state said the expansion in New York both grows domestic manufacturing capacity and brings manufacturing jobs to the area. Hochul announced several other economic and infrastructure items the same day, including $200 million for water infrastructure. The company did not disclose a specific production timeline for the expansion in the governor's office release.
