Our increased dependence on safe, reliable and affordable electricity comes at a time when massive electrification and the needs of Artificial Intelligence (AI) are driving dynamic growth of the electric transmission and distribution (T&D) grid. Concurrently, our industry is challenged by increasing natural and man-made events that impact the resilience of the grid and the ever present need to be more sustainable in everything we do.
During this pivotal time in our industry, Southwire is actively partnering with utilities to develop products and services to build the grid. Always focused on safety, value and performance, Southwire’s engineers continue to develop “best in class” conductors for a wide variety of applications.
“In a time of massive transmission and distribution growth, at Southwire, we stand shoulder to shoulder with our utility partners to bring safe, reliable and high-performance solutions to the marketplace.” Charles Holcombe, Director, Solutions Engineering.
Southwire is one of the largest producers of transmission and distribution conductors in the country and the world. Always striving to maintain quality and value by listening to their customers, Southwire has implemented an impressive cradle to grave sustainability program for overhead conductors. Sustainability is broadly defined to include the entire life cycle of the cable product from the “raw material” cradle to recycle or up cycle at the grave. Customers get the day to day value and resilient performance of outstanding conductors and the knowledge that it is sustainably produced.
This August 19th join me and Southwire during an Energy Central PowerSession as we discuss how overhead conductors can be a fundamental part of a resilient T&D system. Learn about how Southwire’s planning and testing practices contribute to sustainability and system resilience by prioritizing the best locations for new conductor, cables and equipment based on actual field data.
