The new facility, which will produce high-capacity power lines, aims to support the expanding power grid in the United States. Construction of the plant, covering 301,275 square feet, will help address the increasing electricity demand driven by the growth of AI data centers and domestic manufacturing.

Strategic Location and Economic Impact
This manufacturing site is strategically positioned near the intersection of Highways 17 and 170, approximately 10 miles from the Port of Savannah. Such a location is expected to facilitate logistics and supply chain management, thereby bolstering operational efficiencies.
The project is part of a broader three-phase initiative supported by funding from the U.S. Department of Energy. This initiative aims to strengthen domestic manufacturing capabilities and is in line with efforts to modernize the U.S. power grid, addressing existing challenges posed by outdated infrastructure.
Technological Advancements and Workforce Development
TS Conductor’s technology is designed to enhance the efficiency of electrical utilities, allowing them to double or triple their transmission capacity while simultaneously reducing costs. This capability aligns perfectly with the rising demand for robust electrical infrastructure needed to support a growing economy.
In addition to job creation, TS Conductor plans to collaborate with the Southern Carolina Alliance and the Hardeeville Career Advancement & Workforce Training Program to enhance local workforce development. These partnerships will aim to equip local residents with the skills needed for employment in the manufacturing sector, fostering community growth.
Supporting State Initiatives
The Governor of South Carolina has highlighted the state’s business-friendly environment as a crucial factor in attracting TS Conductor to Hardeeville. This investment not only reflects the confidence businesses have in the region but also emphasizes the state’s commitment to nurturing economic growth and job creation.
The establishment of this plant is anticipated to reinforce the momentum of economic growth for South Carolina, providing new opportunities and strengthening the local community. As TS Conductor embarks on this significant venture, it is poised to make a substantial impact on the local economy and contribute to advancements in energy infrastructure across the nation.
In summary, TS Conductor’s $134 million investment in Hardeeville is set to create hundreds of jobs and bolster the local economy while supporting the modernization of the power grid in the United States.
