Benefits include:
-
Up to 30-40% Lower Costs
Avoids structure replacements, height increases, and reinforcements typically required by traditional alternatives.
-
Accelerated Timelines
Streamlined permitting and accelerated construction with reduced downtime—parallel circuits can often remain energized during installation.
-
Maximize Existing ROWs
Adds significant capacity in months—without the delays of new rights-of-way and long permitting cycles required for new lines.
Reconductoring saves billions.
A study by University of California, Berkeley and GridLab projects that reconductoring with advanced conductors can deliver $85 billion in energy system savings by 2035 and $180 billion by 2050.
Reconductoring reimagined.
Montana-Dakota Utilities
Montana-Dakota Utilities (MDU) completed an 11-mile reconductoring project on its 230 kV transmission line between Napoleon and Heskett, North Dakota, in March 2021. The project increased capacity on infrastructure originally built in 1966 to support new wind generation interconnections.

New construction
and rebuilds.
Advanced conductors like AECC are not limited to reconductoring. TS Conductor optimizes new line design, enabling fewer and shorter structures while providing built-in capacity headroom for future load growth.

-
Up to 10-20% Lower Costs
Shorter and fewer structures reduce material and labor requirements, accelerate construction, lower land acquisition needs, and minimize visual impact.
-
Future Proof
Maximizes capacity within existing rights-of-way, providing built-in headroom for future demand and reducing the need for later upgrades.
-
Efficient by Design
Reduces operational costs through lower line losses, improving system efficiency and benefiting both utility budgets and ratepayers.
New line optimized.
Basin Electric
Basin Electric Power Cooperative constructed a new 27-mile, 230 kV line in North Dakota, reducing structure count by 15% (183 to 155) while supporting increased regional load growth.
