Crusoe 지원 Heron Power가 Morgan Hill, California를 첫 대규모 변압기 공장 부지로 선택했으며, 연간 10,000개 생산 예정입니다.
US transformer developer Heron Power has selected Morgan Hill, California, as the site for its first large-scale manufacturing facility. The company will convert a former 286,000-square-foot (26,570-square-meter) distribution warehouse located just south of San Jose into a production plant for its 5MW Heron Link medium-voltage power conversion system, designed for data centers and large-scale energy projects.
Once operational, the facility is expected to manufacture up to 10,000 Heron Link units annually, representing 40GW of capacity. Site preparation will begin immediately, with mass production slated to commence in late 2027.
“America's grid has to grow faster than it has in decades. We're seeing new demand from AI and EVs, and at the same time new supply from solar and storage,” said Drew Baglino, CEO and founder of Heron Power. “The equipment running the grid hasn't changed in fifty years. Heron Factory One in Morgan Hill is how we fix that. We're manufacturing the leapfrog technology our grid needs, at scale, in America first.”
The facility announcement follows the close of Heron Power’s Series B funding round earlier this year, which raised $140 million and brought the company’s total funding to $183m. The firm previously closed its Series A round last May.
According to the company, the Heron Link is a modular megawatt power converter built on the latest advances in wide-bandgap semiconductors. Engineered for high power density and ease of maintenance, the system delivers greater reliability and lower costs for renewable energy storage and data center developers.
Heron Power has already advanced commercial discussions through partnerships with data center operators. Last June, the company signed a letter of intent (LOI) with Crusoe to supply power converter technology for the Stargate data center campus in Texas.
Founded in 2024 by former Tesla senior executive Drew Baglino, Heron Power is headquartered in Scotts Valley, California.
