GALLERY – Hitachi Energy celebrated 70 years of transformer manufacturing in Crystal Springs, Mississippi, bringing together employees and their families to recognize the company’s longstanding presence in Copiah County

On Nov. 7th, Hitachi Energy celebrated 70 years of transformer manufacturing in Crystal Springs, Mississippi, bringing together employees and their families to recognize the company’s longstanding presence in Copiah County. The celebration included factory tours, food, games and entertainment at McPherson Park, highlighting seven decades of work by employees who manufacture transformers that help deliver reliable electricity to homes, businesses and communities across the country. The milestone comes following Hitachi Energy’s announcement of a historic $528 million investment in a new transformer factory in nearby Gallman. The project, which will be more than twice the size of the existing Crystal Springs facility, is expected to more than double production capacity and create more than 700 jobs. The new facility is part of the company’s approximately $1.5 billion U.S. manufacturing expansion. Construction is expected to begin following a planned groundbreaking celebration next year, with production scheduled to start in 2029. Hitachi Energy plans to continue operations in Crystal Springs during construction and maintain a presence at the existing site for warehousing, training and other operational needs after production transitions to Gallman.

Elon Musk company started Mississippi data center without permits, state alleges

Mississippi’s environmental regulators released details this week on a set of penalties against SpaceXAI for violating state water pollution laws by starting construction on its Southaven data center facilities without needed permits. The company first announced the potential fines to investors two weeks ago, speculating the amount could reach as much as $6.1 million. To limit pollution from construction reaching public bodies of water, state law requires companies to first obtain a permit. Without proper protections, rain, for instance, can carry debris and chemicals off construction sites and pollute natural habitats, drinking water systems and recreational areas, federal regulators warn . Earlier this year, SpaceXAI – through its subsidiary, MZX Tech LLC – asked the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality for permits allowing construction within its growing Southaven footprint , which includes a power plant as well as land to build a $20 billion data center facility called MACROHARDRR. But during a July meeting between MDEQ and MZX Tech, “it became apparent” the company had already begun construction on the land in question, impacting about 30 acres, MDEQ records show. On July 16, a day after the meeting, MDEQ staff visited Southaven and confirmed the infractions. The agency sent two
