Overhead Conductor Industry News

• In March 2024, the Iraq Ministry of Electricity inaugurated the Alexandria-Babil Broadcasting 132 kV power transmission line, which spans 18 km and passes through 63 towers. This project featured the replacement of the ACSR Lark Conductor with CTC Global’s ACCC Conductor. The upgrade will significantly enhance the line’s capacity, increasing the transmitted energy from 840 amps to 2,191 amps. This improvement effectively doubles the energy transmission capacity while reducing line losses by 35%.
   
• In February 2024, the U.S. Department of Energy announced a USD 1.2 billion investment to accelerate the construction of large-scale transmission lines. These projects are aimed at supporting the national objective of achieving 100% clean electricity by 2035, which in turn will increase the deployment of the product in large distance transmission projects.
