Why utilities resist simple upgrades to boost renewables
It seems that Utilities are given very little incentive to deploy Dynamic Line Rating systems and Advanced Conductors that can be quickly used to increase the capacity of the existing grid AND REDUCE CONGESTIONS COSTS TO CONSUMERS while new line proposals are stuck in the queue! If we expect to come anywhere near reaching our government's sustainability and decarbonization goals. we need to push these grid technologies into play. Is 20 years of proof not enough?

More wind and solar energy could flow through existing power lines if utilities took advantage of Dynamic Line Rating and Advanced Conductor Technology
