TS Conductor

We are excited to announce TS Conductor’s second US manufacturing facility, which will begin production later this year! The new facility, located in Jasper County, South Carolina, will be a force multiplier for expanding transmission capacity and modernizing the grid in the US and beyond. Strategically located near the Port of Savannah, we will be more equipped than ever to deliver our advanced conductors to utilities and grids around the world, in addition to strengthening our supply chain here in the US. With rapid increases in electricity demand now and well into the future, it couldn’t be a better time to expand manufacturing of our advanced conductors, capable of delivering 2-3x the capacity of ACSR conductors. We are incredibly grateful to our investors, who have helped make this expansion possible:?Blue Earth Capital AG, Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Energy & Environment Investment, Edison International, Gates Frontier, National Grid Partners, a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources, Quanta Services, Inc., and Wellington Management. I’d also like to thank the South Carolina Governor's Office, Henry McMaster, who joined us at today’s celebratory announcement event and who has welcomed our business into the state with open arms. Your support means so much to the TS team. Finally, I’d like to thank Craig Dannegger and the rest of the team at Clarius Partners, LLC, who have helped us find a location to plant roots in South Carolina. This expansion will create hundreds of new jobs in and around Jasper County, and we look forward to working with the SouthernCarolina Regional Development Alliance and the Hardeeville Career Advancement & Workforce Training Program to make investments in local workforce development to support these advanced manufacturing jobs.

The key to unlocking AI dominance is transmission infrastructure. Without transmission capacity built on modern technology, the US will lag behind in the race for AI superiority.? What’s at stake for the US? National security: 99% of our national military sites rely on grid power, yet most of the grid is built on century-old, inefficient technology. Economic prosperity: expanding transmission capacity would lead to trillions of dollars of new investments and millions of new jobs while reducing household electricity bills by hundreds of dollars annually.? The grid is the foundation for American innovation, and with the ballooning energy demand of AI, modernizing the grid and adding capacity are paramount for American leadership.? https://lnkd.in/gUJ9jf-K???

Recently, Crew Leader Jason B. and Line Mechanic Patrick M. received National Grid LifeSaving Awards for their quick actions during a medical emergency. While stopped at an intersection in their truck, they noticed the vehicle ahead wasn’t moving when the light turned green. They put their vehicle in park and, upon investigation, found the driver slumped over the wheel and unresponsive. Acting swiftly, they retrieved their AED, and worked alongside a nurse who had stopped to offer help. Together, they performed life-saving procedures until paramedics arrived. Thanks to their teamwork and quick thinking, the motorist survived. Thank you, Jason and Patrick, for exemplifying the importance of staying vigilant and proactive in critical situations. ???? #LifeSavingAward #NationalGrid

The U.S. must build regional and interregional transmission lines to strengthen the grid and ensure affordable, reliable electricity for decades to come. Additionally, deploying Grid-Enhancing Technologies and reconductoring with High-Performance Conductors can add valuable capacity to the system in the near term. Great to hear that Secretary of Energy nominee Chris Wright is serious about building grid infrastructure: "In the energy world, the most pressing problem we have is our electricity grid...we need to get serious about building infrastructure and investment, bringing the cost of electricity prices back down, and keeping our grid stable."

Sharing this message from the TED stage was an absolute honor. I am pleased to share with you my TED Conferences Talk, just released, “The high-wire act of unlocking clean energy,” where I give an overview of the biggest problem for the power grid today and how we can fix it in just 11 minutes. Some highlights from my TED Talk: → The world’s largest machine isn’t large enough for the energy transition → Century-old technology is limiting our deployment of abundant renewable electricity → Next generation advanced conductors are already here, and they deliver incredible advantages over the old technology Watch my TED Conferences talk today: https://lnkd.in/gzQz8c8N #TED #TEDTalk #PowerGrid #Electricity
