More Capacity. Less CapEx.
Reconductoring
existing lines.
TS Conductor’s AECC technology can double or triple capacity using the existing structures without expensive and time-consuming modifications.
Product Details
Benefits include:
-
Up to 30-40% Lower Costs
Avoids costly structure replacements, height increases, and/or reinforcements that are often required by traditional alternatives.
-
Accelerated Timelines
Streamlined permitting and faster construction with less downtime, as parallel circuits can often remain energized during installation.
-
Maximize Existing ROWs
Add capacity for a fraction of the cost of new lines, and do it in months, instead of the years or decades required for permitting new rights-of-way.
Reconductoring saves billions.
A study by UC Berkeley and GridLab projects that reconductoring with advanced conductors could lead to energy system savings of $85 billion by 2035 and $180 billion by 2050.
Reconductoring reimagined.
Montana-Dakota Utilities
Montana-Dakota Utilities (MDU) completed a 11-mile reconductoring project on their 230kV transmission line between Napoleon and Heskett, North Dakota, in March 2021. The project aimed to increase capacity on the existing line, originally built in 1966, to accommodate new wind farm interconnections in the area.

New construction
and rebuilds.
It’s a common misconception that advanced conductors are only suitable for reconductoring. TS Conductor can also optimize new lines, often enabling fewer, shorter structures while providing capacity headroom for future demand growth.
Product Details
-
Up to 10-20% Lower Costs
Allowing shorter and fewer towers minimizes material and labor costs, construction time, land acquisition expenses, and visual impacts.
-
Future Proof
Maximizes capacity in valuable rights-of-way, providing headroom for uncertain demand growth and avoiding costly upgrades in the future.
-
Green by Design
Lowers environmental impact and mitigation costs, benefiting both utility budgets and the planet.
Rebuild optimized.
Florida Power & Light
Florida Power & Light completed a 5-mile rebuild of their 230kV Eldora-Finca-Heritage transmission line in Q2 2024. The project aimed to upgrade the existing ACSR conductor with a capacity of 1495 Amps to meet a new capacity requirement of 3000 Amps.
