Prolec GE, a Prolec subsidiary of a joint venture between GE and Xignux, a Mexico-based private company, today announced additional manufacturing investments of $85 million to meet unprecedented North American demand for single-phase pad-mount transformers. Prolec GE will increase its manufacturing capacity in Monterrey by equipping a new facility capable of annually duplicating the number of transformers produced at its existing Mexico facility. The company will also take this opportunity to incorporate state-of-the-art manufacturing technology to increase productivity and improve ergonomics in key areas throughout the new plant.​

Congressman Paul D. Tonko cheered the announcement that a total of $22,899,840 will be delivered to GE Vernova Advanced Research Center in Niskayuna, NY to drive clean energy research and development, particularly in wind energy. This substantial funding, allocated through the U.S. Department of Energy, includes four projects for GE Vernova.
