Prepare for the power transmission industry. Build your understanding of substations, protection, testing and commissioning — then connect with people who share your passion.
A 138 kV rating does not tell you how much power a circuit can carry. ComEd’s approved project near Chicago O’Hare International Airport offers a useful starting point for learning how transmission voltage, cable heating and substation design fit together.…
Transformers are a cornerstone of electrical transmission and distribution systems worldwide, but their supply chains face significant complexity. While attention routinely falls on high-profile components such as turbines, copper windings, and steel structures, one critical element often escapes scrutiny: the…
A major development in the U.S. data centre sector has taken place, as Vantage has secured over 1 gigawatt (GW) of solid state transformer (SST) supply from Heron Power. These modular converters are set to support 800-volt direct current (DC)…
In the United States, the planned restart of three nuclear reactors is drawing significant attention from the electrical industry. According to recent updates, these projects collectively aim to restore approximately 2.25 gigawatts (GW) of electricity generation capacity—equivalent to the consumption…
In the United States, Inlyte Energy and CutPeak Energy have announced plans for an 80 megawatt-hour (MWh) battery energy storage system at Berkshire East Ski Area. This project highlights how large-scale battery installations are becoming integral in supporting local grids…
In the United States, GridCARE has released an analysis estimating a potential $350 billion opportunity to enhance power grid capacity. According to GridCARE, existing U.S. electrical networks could support up to 120 gigawatts (GW) of additional capacity, pending site-specific technical…
🔌 San Jose, California, United States — DG Matrix introduced Interport 360 Flex at the OCP Global Summit held on October 12–15, 2026. The system is designed to convert medium- or low-voltage AC supplies into 800 VDC for AI data…
🔌 Southcentral and Interior Alaska, United States. Alaska is planning another high-voltage connection between Southcentral and Interior Alaska. The U.S. Department of Energy has committed support for the $418 million Beluga–Healy transmission project. The planned line is 359 kilometers, or…
🏭 Encinal, Texas, United States. The plans include a 6.47 GW gas-fired power plant alongside a 5 GW data center, with surplus generation intended for the wider Texas grid. These are planned capacities, rather than a statement that the facilities…
