Giga Energy Announces New Houston Manufacturing Facility to Expand U.S. Transformer Production to Power AI Infrastructure
HOUSTON, Dec. 16, 2025 — Giga Energy, a U.S.-based manufacturer and developer of critical power infrastructure, today announced its new medium voltage (MV) Houston Factory, a 60,000-square-foot facility that will serve as the company’s primary U.S. manufacturing site for medium-voltage transformers. Production is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2026, scaling to more than 3,000 units annually (approximately 15 gigawatts per year) at a time when transformer shortages remain a major constraint to bringing new power capacity online.
The MV Houston Factory is located in the heart of the nation’s energy capital and will create 25 jobs at launch, with plans to expand to nearly 100 manufacturing roles as production ramps. The facility expands Giga Energy’s domestic manufacturing footprint and provides U.S. customers faster access to high-quality electrical infrastructure engineered for rapidly growing data center, renewable and industrial power demands.
Advanced Manufacturing Built for the AI Power Era
The Houston plant incorporates advanced manufacturing technologies tailored for high-density electrical infrastructure, including a terahertz drying oven that accelerates and deepens moisture removal during transformer production. These technologies improve quality, consistency and cycle time. With U.S.-based manufacturing in Houston, Giga Energy maintains end-to-end control of quality and delivery timelines, supporting faster lead times and U.S. jobs.
“This facility marks a major milestone in our U.S. manufacturing strategy,” said Matt Lohstroh, Co-Founder and CEO of Giga Energy. “The MV Houston Factory combines advanced manufacturing technology with American-based production to deliver higher quality, faster lead times and new local jobs, all at a moment when the country urgently needs more transformer capacity.”
Infrastructure Built for High-Density Compute
The MV Houston Factory also strengthens Giga Energy’s capabilities as a data center site developer and operator. Electrical infrastructure manufactured in Houston will support Giga’s development pipeline of more than 500 MW next year as the company builds turnkey sites for major AI hyperscalers and enterprises, as well as owner-operated sites and colocation services that allow AI operators to rapidly deploy GPUs with flexible rack space.
Wide-angle photos of the facility are available to media upon request. Media tours and video opportunities are scheduled for January and February 2026 as the facility prepares to open. Contact [email protected] to schedule an onsite tour.
