Excited to announce the ground breaking collaboration between Google and CTC Global to quickly address #energy load growth with ACCC #advancedconductors. Press release and information about the RFI and RFP for #transmission projects here: www.linkedin.com/posts/theodo...
Highlighting the executive order issued yesterday re: use of #advancedconductors to quickly double grid capacity in a matter of months to serve historic load growth, and a directive for #transmission conductor efficiency standard(!!) MORE: www.linkedin.com/posts/theodo... #energy #accc #grid
That’s one big overall takeaway: we should work to increase models’ attention to energy efficiency, flexible loads, demand response, price-responsive demand, etc. There are other emerging areas too: #GETs, #advancedconductors; #longdurationstorage; interregional transfers, and beyond.

#AdvancedConductors may cost two or three times as conventional ones, upgrading existing lines with them could be accomplished at 25% to 50% the cost of building new lines, and the jobs could be completed in 18–36 months, without a need to obtain permits. #powerlines pubs.aip.org/physicstoday...
