Schneider Electric (SBGSF) has initiated construction on a 58,000-square-foot expansion of its Columbia, Missouri manufacturing facility. The expansion, driven by increasing demand from data center and AI infrastructure developers, will create over 200 new local jobs. The facility will enhance production of molded case circuit breakers and air circuit breakers while streamlining order fulfillment processes.

This project is part of Schneider's larger U.S. investment plan, representing the company's largest single capital expenditure in its 135+ year U.S. history. The nationwide investment is expected to create over 1,000 new jobs. Schneider Electric currently employs more than 21,000 U.S. workers and partners with approximately 40% of Fortune 500 companies.

Schneider Electric (SBGSF) is showcasing its latest innovations at Automate 2025 in Detroit, highlighting advancements in manufacturing automation and robotics. The company is introducing an industrial copilot developed with Microsoft, integrating Azure AI Foundry with Schneider's automation solutions to enhance workforce efficiency and productivity.

Key innovations include the EcoStruxure Automation Expert Platform, next-generation Modicon M660 motion controller, and expanded Lexium robotics line. The company's new \"Schmoooth\" campaign promises 7x better system agility, 10x faster incident resolution, 55% higher workforce efficiency, and 20% energy savings.

Schneider Electric (SBGSF) has received two prestigious awards from the U.S. Department of Energy at the Better Buildings, Better Plants Summit. The company won the Better Project Recognition for its Lincoln, Nebraska HVAC Electrification Project, which improves energy efficiency by capturing and recycling wasted heat. Additionally, it received the Better Practice Recognition for its Building Automation System Playbook, which standardizes Building Management Systems across North America.

The company also achieved Make it American Process Certification and Build America, Buy America (BABA) certification for its Fairfield, Ohio facility. This recognition follows Schneider's planned $700 million investment in U.S. operations to meet growing demand in data centers, utilities, manufacturing, and energy infrastructure segments.

Schneider Electric has successfully facilitated $1.7 billion in tax credit transfer transactions through 18 deals since late 2023, supporting companies in their clean energy initiatives. These transactions span various sectors, enabling investments in renewable energy projects, battery storage, and other clean energy technologies.

The company's Sustainability Business, a leading advisor on corporate renewable energy procurement, provides comprehensive services including advisory, financial, and due diligence support. Notable collaborations include partnerships with Silfab Solar, Kimberly-Clark, Crux, and ENGIE.

According to BloombergNEF, the market for clean energy tax credit transfers is gaining momentum, making corporate energy procurement more attractive. IDC Energy Insights' Senior Research Director notes that these transactions are becoming crucial enablers for clean energy investment, helping both established companies and first-time buyers access capital for renewable and low-carbon technology deployments.

Schneider Electric reveals groundbreaking research on AI's impact on U.S. power demand at BNEF 2025 Summit. The company's new reports highlight that AI could drive up to 50% of U.S. electricity demand growth by 2030, with data center capacity projected to increase by 43-92 GW.

Key findings show critical infrastructure challenges, with 44% of data centers facing utility wait times exceeding 4 years. The company has facilitated over $1.7 billion in clean energy tax credit transfers since late 2023. Without proper grid modernization, AI power demand could reach 500 TWh by 2030, potentially triggering system-wide inefficiencies.

The research warns of possible energy crises across seven regional operators, including MISO, PJM, and ERCOT, by 2028. Industry professionals identify grid constraints as the primary barrier to data center projects, with 60% considering on-site power generation as a solution. The Mountain West region currently offers the fastest time to power for new projects.

The Boston Athletic Association (B.A.A.) has released its first-ever sustainability report in collaboration with Schneider Electric, marking a significant milestone in environmental stewardship. The report outlines the organization's efforts to reduce environmental impact while organizing community-focused athletic events.

Key achievements highlighted in the report include:

• Setting climate targets for 2030 based on 2023 baseline emissions
• Diverting 79% of waste at the 2024 Boston Marathon
• Donating over 20 tons of clothing and 600 pairs of sneakers
• Engaging 9,000+ volunteers, with 27 veterans serving for 30+ years
• Generating $500.9 million in economic activity
• Raising $45.7 million through 168 nonprofit organizations
• Hosting 9 youth programs serving 3,200 participants

Schneider Electric has been named the Official Energy Management Partner of the new Nissan Stadium, future home of the Tennessee Titans, in a five-year partnership starting Spring 2027. The company will implement advanced energy management technologies in the 2.1-million-square-foot facility, projected to generate $33.7 billion in economic impact over 30 years.

The partnership includes integration of clean uninterruptible backup power, IT infrastructure, electrical distribution systems, and Building Management Systems. These implementations are expected to achieve a 20% reduction in energy consumption and 30% reduction in downtime.

Several technologies will be manufactured in Tennessee, where Schneider Electric operates facilities in Franklin, Smyrna, and Mt. Juliet. The new stadium, under construction adjacent to the existing one, will host Titans and Tennessee State University games, along with entertainment and civic events, with completion scheduled for February 2027.

Schneider Electric has joined EPRI's DCFlex initiative, a three-year R&D project aimed at demonstrating how data centers can support and stabilize the electric grid. The initiative will establish 5-10 large-scale flexibility hubs as living laboratories to showcase innovative grid integration strategies.

The project includes over 40 members, featuring major tech companies like Google, Meta, and NVIDIA, alongside utilities such as Constellation Energy, Duke Energy, and PG&E. Concurrent with this announcement, Schneider Electric unveiled its One Digital Grid Platform, an AI-powered grid management system designed to enhance grid resiliency, reliability, and efficiency.

The announcement was made at DISTRIBUTECH®, highlighting the company's commitment to addressing increasing power demands from data centers, AI development, and general electrification while focusing on carbon emission reduction and system reliability enhancement.
