Unlocking Hidden Capacity in the Grid With Advanced Conductors
- •Electricity demand is rapidly increasing due to electrification of transport, heating, and industry, compounded by growth from data centers and expanding industrial loads.
- •Existing transmission infrastructure is difficult to expand, with new line construction typically taking 10-15 years, creating significant bottlenecks for new projects and large consumers.
- •Advanced conductors are highlighted as a practical solution to unlock hidden capacity within the current grid, offering a faster alternative to traditional transmission expansion for developers and large loads.
