Advanced Conductors Accelerate Electric Grid Decarbonization and Modernization
The use of Advanced Conductors (such as ACCC Conductor) and other Grid Enhancing Technologies "GETs" are helping cost-effectively modernize and decarbonize the grid. This is critically important if we hope to truly combat global warming.
Advanced Conductors Accelerate Electric Grid Decarbonization and Modernization
Advanced Conductors present a special opportunity: replace the legacy conductor (a hundred-year-old technology) with an Advanced Conductor on an existing transmission structure to substantially upgrade the existing powerline. This wire-for-wire exchange on the existing structure, called reconductoring, can be performed quickly and does not require lengthy and expensive construction and permitting timelines. Doing so accelerates electric grid decarbonization and modernization by rapidly deploying additional transmission capacity, lowering power line losses, and reducing consumers’ electricity bills.

The Energy Central Power Industry Network is based on one core idea - power industry professionals helping each other and advancing the industry by sharing and learning from each other.
If you have an experience or insight to share or have learned something from a conference or seminar, your peers and colleagues on Energy Central want to hear about it. It's also easy to share a link to an article you've liked or an industry resource that you think would be helpful.
