In El Paso, Texas, Eaton is investing $80M to significantly expand its manufacturing footprint -opening a new facility and increasing capacity at its existing manufacturing plant. This project will expand production of low-voltage switchgear, circuit breakers, switchboards, panelboards and other assemblies for critical U.S. energy infrastructure projects across industries.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) released applicant self-disclosed information for 22 projects across 17 states that voluntarily shared with DOE that they received a total of nearly $1 billion in allocations from the Qualifying Advanced Energy Project Credit (48C). Nine of the self-disclosed projects indicated they are located in 48C energy communities – communities with closed coal mines or coal plants—showcasing the Biden Administration’s commitment to investing in America’s energy communities.
