As we inch toward a new decade, where close to three-quarters of electricity is expected to be provided by renewables, renewable energy integration is swiftly becoming the foremost concern for utilities. To expand grid capacity, transmission planners and engineers will need to think beyond expensive rebuilds and century-old technology and consider more progressive, innovative, and quicker approaches. 

Reconductoring with high-capacity, high-performing advanced conductors can double the capacity of existing transmission lines and can do so much quicker, more efficiently, and cost-effectively, rather than upgrading with legacy conductors that would otherwise require structure replacement and longer outages.
