COLQUITT COUNTY, Ga. (WALB) - More jobs are coming to Colquitt County following a new investment by EnergyTek Corporation.

It was announced on Friday that EnergyTek is planning to invest at least $275 million in establishing new manufacturing operations in Moultrie. This is expected to create a total of 1,300 jobs at full operations, according to a release.

“Georgia’s commitment to innovation continues to attract companies like EnergyTek that are investing and creating good jobs in every corner of our state,” said Georgia Department of Economic Development Commissioner Pat Wilson. “We congratulate our partners in Colquitt County on this important milestone for the Citizen Business Park.”

The manufacturing operations will be in Citizen Business Park, a “Georgia Ready for Accelerated Development” (GRAD) site, in Moultrie. Construction on the first phase is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2025.

“We are honored that EnergyTek has chosen Moultrie and Colquitt County as the site of its new manufacturing facility,” said Chairman Ross Dekle, Moultrie-Colquitt County Development Authority. “This significant investment will create high-quality, well-compensated manufacturing jobs for our residents and represents a meaningful contribution to the continued growth and prosperity of our community.”

EnergyTek plans to manufacture utility-scale and commercial solar panels, inverters, EV charging systems, micro-grids, and other renewable energy components in Moultrie, according to a release.

“Through this multi-phase investment, EnergyTek will be able to manufacture multiple aspects of the energy and electrification supply chain, simplifying vertical integration,” said Dr. Cristian Toma, CEO of EnergyTek. “Georgia’s industrial ecosystem and world-class logistics will support efficient distribution and supply chain integration as EnergyTek scales up production in Moultrie over the next few years.”

Assistant Director of Existing Industry and Regional Recruitment Tina Herring represented the Georgia Department of Economic Development (GDEcD) Global Commerce team on this competitive project in partnership with the Moultrie-Colquitt County Development Authority, City of Moultrie, Georgia Power, and Georgia Quick Start.
