RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - German conglomerate Siemens plans to expand a North Carolina unit that makes equipment for electric utility plants, adding hundreds of jobs.
A state incentives committee on Thursday approved giving Siemens more than $22 million for its plans to create 825 jobs.
Gov. Beverly Perdue is scheduled to praise the company's plans at Siemens Power Generation operations in Charlotte.
Munich-based Siemens AG had said last spring it would add more than 200 jobs in Charlotte as it increased the energy division's offerings of climate protecting technology for power plants.
The plans included building a 75,000-square-foot office next to its manufacturing facility there.
The U.S. is one of Siemens' largest markets. The company said Siemens-built power plants supply one-third of North America's electricity.
