Shreveport, LA – November 20, 2024 – Energy infrastructure leader, Prolec GE, a joint venture between Xignux, a Mexico-based private company and GE Vernova, ceremoniously announced the completion of a $34 million capacity expansion project at its Caddo Parish facility today. Improvements to the company’s 500,000 square foot manufacturing plant began in early 2023 and recently culminated with the installation and start-up of a third production line. This new line broadens the facility’s capability portfolio to include three-phase pad-mount electrical transformers that improve efficiency, reliability and flexibility of the electrical grids used in wind farms, solar parks and other industrial and renewable energy applications. Facility layout improvements also resulted in the optimization of existing lines for manufacturing network transformers and voltage regulators, resulting in a 15% capacity increase for each of those product lines.

The event concluded with guided tours of the facility featuring a variety of new equipment, state-of-the-art test labs, a new training area and evidence of improved process flow. Production employees provided firsthand knowledge at select workstations to complement the narrative.
