The ongoing fiscal year FY25 is likely to see significant addition of infrastructure to the interstate state transmission system (ISTS) network, according to an official report. The newly-released “Rolling Plan: Interstate Transmission System 2028-29” by Central Transmission Utility of India Ltd (CTUIL) has estimated that a significant addition of transmission lines and substation capacity is likely in FY25, based on projects that are currently under construction. #ctuil #powertransmission #ists #tbcb #utilities

Energy Efficiency Meets Resilience in D.C. PowerSecure is proud to partner with an Energy Services Company to deliver critical energy efficiency and infrastructure upgrades to two major federal buildings in Washington, D.C.: the New Executive Office Building (NEOB) and the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center (RRB). As part of an Energy Savings Performance Contract (ESPC), PowerSecure installed high-efficiency chillers, cooling towers, HVAC systems, and low-loss electrical transformers. These upgrades not only improve the energy efficiency of federal facilities but also enhance the reliability and resilience of their electrical systems—critical for 24/7 operations.

In late September, the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) representatives announced plans to advance and develop a new $21.8 billion regional transmission expansion plan. The transmission plan, also known as the Long-Range Transmission Planning (LRTP) Tranche 2.1, will consist of 765-kV transmission ‘highway’ that will extend across the Midwest. During a two-day workshop conducted by MISO officials, stakeholders were presented a final draft portfolio for the LRTP Tranche 2.1 plan. The final draft of the LRTP Tranche 2.1 plan highlighted the 24 transmission and substation related projects proposed for the MISO region, along with the electric power and economic benefits. MISO officials expect for final planning to conclude with the MISO’s Board of Directors approval by December of 2024. The second tranche LRTP is one of four tranche plans under MISO’s LRTP initiative. Tranche 1 was previously approved back in July of 2022, whereas Tranches 3 and 4 will undergo a review and planning procedure at a later date. #MISO #LongRangeTransmissionPlanning #Midwest #Transmission #TransmissionLines #Substations #ElectricPower #ElectricInfrastructure #RegionalTransmission #LTRP #Tranche2.1 #MAPSearch #ENvision

Delmarva Power has plans to invest more than $2.7 billion in infrastructure improvements, grid expansion, equipment inspections and maintenance over the next five years. The proactive approach to infrastructure upgrades and maintenance will help ensure reliable services to businesses and residential customers, including integrating innovative smart technology. Delmarva is also making it easier for customers who may need support or those who want to get ahead of cold winter temperatures to connect to a wide range of assistance programs with its new company’s new Assistance Finder tool. https://hubs.ly/Q030dZwq0

⚡📰 In a recent POWER magazine article covering the ongoing effort to strengthen America’s Electric Power Grid, Andrew Phillips -vice president of T&D Infrastructure at EPRI, reminds how #ACSS and #CompositeCore conductors are complementary, as each technology offers distinct benefits: He points out that with ACSS “you can easily design a new line—you can make the towers a little taller or put the tension a bit higher—you can get over the obstacles. But to go and re-conductor an existing line, that’s not easy.” He also adds that “When reconductoring existing lines to expand capacity, a better option could be installing carbon-core conductors”, since “reconductoring existing lines with carbon-core conductors could allow going to higher temperatures without having to worry about sag constraints” ➡ For more information about #AdvancedConductors please visit: https://lnkd.in/eRkpHuEV ➡ Read the full POWER magazine article by Aaron Larson here: https://lnkd.in/gPS77twq ➡ Feel free to reach out to our team Joseph Sylvia & Matthieu Landais, or to contact our engineering team to discuss your projects: contact@epsilon-cable.com #Powerlines #Transmission #EnergyTransition #Composites #Reconductoring #OHL
