Advanced conductors provide path for grid expansion
A new study led by Duncan Callaway, professor and chair of the Energy and Resources Group (ERG), and Amol Phadke, an affiliate and senior scientist at the Goldman School of Public Policy, shows that if we were to replace transmission lines with more advanced composite-core materials, not only could we double electric transmission by 2035, but we can do so at a much lower cost and faster rate than completely rebuilding new transmission lines.
