Heron Power to Build $100M Factory in Morgan Hill
Heron Power has selected Morgan Hill, California, for its first large-scale manufacturing facility, where it plans to produce its Heron Link medium-voltage power conversion system.
The company will convert a former 286,000-square-foot distribution warehouse into a manufacturing facility. Heron expects to invest more than $100 million in the site, create more than 600 jobs, and begin mass production in late 2027.
The factory is designed to produce up to 10,000 Heron Links per year, representing more than 40 GW of annual capacity. The 5 MW systems are intended for large-scale energy and data center projects.
Site preparation is set to begin immediately. The project is supported in part by a $26.4 million California Competes tax credit.
Heron Power CEO and founder Drew Baglino said the facility will allow the company to manufacture its power electronics technology at scale in the United States.
The company said Morgan Hill was selected following an evaluation of manufacturing locations in several states. The site is close to Heron’s engineering headquarters and the Bay Area’s engineering and manufacturing workforce.
