07/18/2025
The investment at the company’s existing facility, located at the Sage Mill Industrial Park, will accommodate increased production volume for its mtu Series 4000 engines to meet growing demand for backup power in the data center industry. Operations are scheduled to begin in July 2027.
“Today’s announcement underscores Rolls-Royce’s commitment to the U.S. market and demonstrates our robust manufacturing capabilities. We are proud to support America’s growing demand for reliable, domestically made energy systems that strengthen our nation’s energy independence and security. With more than half the world’s hyperscale data centers located here in the U.S., this will continue to be a key growth market for many years to come,” Rolls-Royce North America CEO Adam Riddle said.
To support the project the Coordinating Council for Economic Development approved job development credits.
“Today’s announcement reinforces Rolls-Royce Solutions America Inc.’s commitment to doing business in South Carolina and contributing to our world-class manufacturing base. We are excited to celebrate Rolls-Royce’s ongoing growth and $75 million expansion in Aiken County,” Secretary of Commerce Harry M. Lightsey III noted.
Rolls-Royce’s Power Systems division manufactures and services propulsion engines and energy systems under the mtu brand. The company’s products include high-speed combustion engines and emergency power systems used in data centers, hospitals, universities and municipalities.
“We congratulate Rolls-Royce on this exciting $75 million expansion of their Aiken County facilities. For 15 years, they’ve been a vital part of our region’s growth, and this new investment — bringing 60 high-quality jobs — underscores their continued leadership in supporting the rapidly growing demand for backup power in the global data center industry,” Western SC Economic Development Partnership Board Chairman Gary Stooksbury added.
