en.Wedoany.com Reported - Inverter technology company EPC Power announced that its latest manufacturing facility in South Carolina, USA, officially commenced operations on July 15, 2026.

Located in Fountain Inn, the 167,000-square-foot facility will nearly double the production line scale of EPC Power's M Series and Mrack Series power inverters. These two product lines are primarily used in grid and energy storage applications, which are directly growing in tandem with rising demand from artificial intelligence and data centers.

The Fountain Inn plant is EPC Power's second manufacturing facility in South Carolina and its third globally. Once the new factory reaches full production later this month, it will increase annual power capacity to 27 GW.

EPC Power CEO Jim Fusaro stated in a press release that the company's expansion in South Carolina is a direct response to global AI infrastructure investments and power demand. By tripling production capacity, EPC Power provides data center and utility operators with more domestically sourced critical components, reducing risks in their expansion plans and enhancing supply chain resilience.

EPC Power's M Series inverters are designed to handle data center loads and provide grid-forming technology to protect generators and maintain grid stability. According to the company, the 500 kW module supports battery energy storage systems for multiple battery types.

Forecasts for AI and supercomputing focus not only on GW-level demand growth but also on unpredictable and fluctuating AI workload demands, sometimes referred to as transient loads. These loads can fluctuate by several megawatts within milliseconds, straining grid and distribution capabilities.

EPC Power co-founder, President, and Chief Innovation Officer Devin Dilley stated at an earlier event focused on digital infrastructure expansion that AI data centers introduce highly dynamic load profiles that traditional power systems were never designed to handle. Grid-forming inverters enable energy storage and renewable generation to operate like stable power sources, maintaining reliability even as demand changes in real time.

Research from JLL predicts that data center capacity could increase by nearly 100 GW by 2030, equivalent to the generation capacity of approximately 100 new conventional nuclear reactors. However, according to PJM Interconnection and other reports, grid capacity planning has not kept pace with the growth rate of new demand.

Earlier this year, on-site power producer Generac Power Systems and EPC Power announced a partnership to produce integrated energy systems for the data center market. These systems include the Generac SBE Block battery system, Generac controllers, and EPC Power's M System inverter.

Erik Wilde, President of Generac's Domestic Commercial and Industrial division, stated in a March announcement that the collaboration with EPC Power provides end-to-end behind-the-meter solutions that meet evolving utility requirements while supporting the performance demands of AI workloads.

EPC Power has also established partnerships with companies such as ON.energy, UIG, and ACE Engineering.
