More Capacity.
Less CapEx.

TS Conductor is the most capital-efficient path to 2–3× more capacity. Through AECC, utilities improve reliability, avoid structural rebuilds, and cut CapEx across new and reconductoring projects.

Proven technology
backed by industry leaders.

With thousands of miles installed since 2016 and extensive third-party testing, TS Conductor has earned the support of industry-leading investors and utility customers.

Popular new Ted Talk.

Why rely on century-old technology to power a modern world? Materials scientist Jason Huang demonstrates how replacing legacy conductors with advanced, high-performance solutions can rapidly and affordably expand grid capacity. Upgrading the wires on existing transmission lines unlocks dramatically higher throughput—enabling utilities to meet surging energy demand without rebuilding infrastructure.

Industry standard installation.

AECC is a next-generation advanced conductor fully compatible with standard ACSR/ACSS installation and maintenance practices. TS Conductor engineered AECC to perform in real-world conditions—robust, durable, and forgiving in the field—so utilities gain advanced performance without changing crew practices or increasing installation risk.

Next generation advanced conductor.

For more than a century, conductor technology has delivered incremental change—not meaningful progress. AECC is the first true mainstream breakthrough. TS Conductor combines next-generation performance with the proven safety, reliability, and installation practices of traditional conductors—delivering transformational capacity without added risk.
