Voith Hydro Inc. (48C Self-Disclosed)

Voith will re-equip its existing 220,000 square foot hydropower manufacturing facility located at 760 East Berlin Road, in York, Pennsylvania with new, state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment, including an AP 120 TM Vertical Turning Lathe and a Horizontal Boring and Milling Machine. These new machines offer increased production capacity, improved product quality, reduced downtime, and, most importantly, enhanced worker safety for the manufacturing of hydropower and pumped storage hydropower components. The project will support retention of about 100 skilled and apprentice welders, machinists and other crafts from the IAMAW union workforce as well a creating several addition positions for operation and maintenance of the new equipment. The project construction draws from local construction firms and other small and local businesses for construction services and materials.

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.
