Mitsubishi Heavy Industries reportedly to expand Georgia gas turbine plant for AI power demand
Nikkei, as reported by TechNews and MoneyDJ, says Mitsubishi Heavy Industries will invest $490 million (about ¥77 billion) to expand its factory in Georgia, raising U.S. gas-turbine manufacturing and maintenance capacity. The company said it plans to invest more than ¥100 billion across Japanese and U.S. sites to double large gas-turbine capacity by fiscal 2030 versus fiscal 2024, with the Georgia expansion forming part of that plan. The International Energy Agency estimates global data-center electricity demand will reach twice the 2024 level by 2030.
The reported expansion adds US gas-turbine output and servicing capacity aimed at AI data-center power buildout, where the IEA expects data-center electricity demand to double by 2030.

搶攻 AI 電力需求，日本三菱重工（Mitsubishi Heavy Industries）傳將擴建美國工廠廠房，提高燃氣渦輪機產能。
日經新聞1日報導，三菱重工將提高美國燃氣渦輪機製造、維修能力，將投資4.9億美元（約770億日圓）擴建位於美國南部喬治亞州的工廠廠房。隨著AI資料中心持續擴建，美國電力需求激增，三菱重工將藉此擴充當地供應能力。
三菱重工之前表示，計劃對日本、美國生產據點投資超過1,000億日圓，目標在2030年度將大型燃氣渦輪機產能擴增至2024年度的2倍水準。上述美國據點擴建也是該計畫的一部分。
