While still a Bethlehem Steel facility, the plant built troop landers used in the invasion of Normandy in 1944.īCI Steel will fabricate solar trackers at this former Bethlehem Steel plant in Leetsdale, near Pittsburgh. Solar tracker products made in Leetsdale will serve rapidly growing solar markets in Pennsylvania, Indiana, New York and Ohio. The steel plant will use BCI Steel’s new and reshored equipment shipped from a factory in Malaysia. Solar trackers adjust solar panels to remain perpendicular to the sun’s rays. (Another example, in Maryland, can be found in the Tradepoint Atlantic Investment Profile on page 204). In June, Nextracker LLC, a leading producer of utility-scale solar trackers, and BCI Steel, a Pittsburgh-based steel fabricator, announced plans to produce solar tracker equipment for large-scale solar power plants at the site. A recent example is the reopening of the shuttered Bethlehem Steel manufacturing factory in Leetsdale, Pennsylvania, 11 miles northwest of Pittsburgh on the Ohio River. as investors repurpose them for producing renewable energy equipment. Ormer steel plants are finding new leases on life around the U.S.
