The new facility provides the necessary footprint to house expanded manufacturing lines and specialized research laboratories. OpConnect intends to leverage this space to accelerate development in battery-backed charging systems, bi-directional energy transfer, and microgrid integration. For CEO Dexter Turner, the move reinforces a long-standing commitment to the region’s clean-energy sector while providing the capacity to serve an expanding client base across 36 states and three Canadian provinces.

Already a fixture in local fleet electrification, the company maintains partnerships with the City of Portland, Multnomah County, and Portland General Electric. By scaling its physical presence, OpConnect aims to generate further job growth and increase supply-chain investment within Oregon. The firm, founded in 2016, continues to focus on providing turnkey hardware and management software for utilities, fleet operators, and property owners.
