TS Conductor Plans Hardeeville, South Carolina, Production Operations

03/07/2025
TS Conductor, a manufacturer of next-generation advanced conductors, plans to establish production operations in Hardeeville, South Carolina. The $134 million project is expected to create 462 jobs in Jasper County.

The investment will include a new 301,275-square-foot facility, located in Clarius Park, which will manufacture advanced carbon-core conductors for use in transmission lines, including critical high-voltage direct current (HVDC) capacity. Operations are scheduled to begin by the end of 2025.

"TS Conductor is proud to partner with the state of South Carolina to build our second U.S. manufacturing facility. This state-of-the-art plant will enable us to meet growing demand from leading utilities across the Southeast and nationwide. Our patented technology helps modernize America's power grid by providing more capacity while lowering project costs, making electricity more affordable and reliable for everyone. South Carolina's business-friendly environment, skilled workforce and strong support made it the perfect choice for our expansion. We plan to create hundreds of high-paying manufacturing jobs and invest over $100 million in the state over the next few years. We look forward to being a long-term partner in South Carolina's economic growth and creating opportunities for local families and communities,” said TS Conductor Co-Founder and CEO Jason Huang, PhD.

To support the project the Coordinating Council for Economic Development approved job development credits. The council also awarded a $5.11 million Closing Fund grant to Jasper County to assist with the costs of site preparation and building construction.

“TS Conductor’s announcement showcases that cutting-edge energy companies recognize the many advantages of doing business in South Carolina. We are grateful for this remarkable $134 million investment in Jasper County and are proud to support TS Conductor as it continues working to modernize the power grid,” Secretary of Commerce Harry M. Lightsey III noted.

TS Conductor specializes in advanced conductor technology that enables utilities to double or triple transmission capacity. The company currently operates a production site in Southern California.

“We appreciate the good jobs and capital investment that this innovative company will bring to our region. SouthernCarolina Alliance welcomes TS Conductor and congratulates Jasper County on this big win for our people. Every good job created provides an opportunity for a family here, and we are looking forward to working with TS Conductor as they ramp up operations in Jasper County, creating 462 jobs,” SouthernCarolina Alliance Chairman Marty Sauls added.
