“ Our primary goal is to help more people get access to higher quality , more reliable , and less expensive electricity ”
DAVE BRYANT Director of Technology capability of the line is crucial .” Reducing line losses also frees up generation capacity that is otherwise wasted supporting line losses .
Making an environmental difference By reducing line losses , CTC Global ’ s ACCC conductor not only improves the capacity of the power line , it also provides a cost-effective way to reduce fuel consumption and associated CO2 emissions . As the very first electric conductor to earn an SCS Global certification , the CO2 emission reductions offered by CTC Global can be evaluated and quantified , allowing corporate and government entities the opportunity to monetise their emission reductions and meet regulatory standards .
“ We ’ re very proud of the CO2 emission reductions we can make , so , for instance , at a recent project for American Electric Power in Texas , the company replaced 240 circuit miles of their 440,000-global transmission line with our composite core ACCC conductor . At a very low mean load factor of 34 %, they are able to save 300,000 MWh of electricity every year . In the case of Texas , where you ’ ve got a number of different resources for energy generation , they were able to reduce the CO2 emissions by 200,000 metric tonnes per year , which is the same as taking 34,000 cars off the road .”
