CTC Global Receives Strategic Investment from Endeavour Capital and Greenbelt Capital Partners
| |
In February, CTC Global announced that Endeavour Capital, Greenbelt Capital Partners, and CTC Global Management have joined forces to accelerate the adoption of advanced conductors and pave the way for a more sustainable future with new investment and ownership.
J.D. Sitton, CEO of CTC Global, shared, “Partnering with Endeavour and Greenbelt will enable CTC’s team to do more of what it loves to do – helping utilities around the world improve the efficiency, capacity, reliability, and resiliency of their increasingly strained electric power grids. This partnership will allow CTC to accelerate the adoption of advanced conductors globally and to introduce critical new technologies for a more sustainable energy future.”

| | RECENTLY PUBLISHED REPORTS | | | | Idaho National Laboratory Reports on Advanced Conductor Use in the U.S. | Transmission capacity expansions must accelerate from historical rates if current decarbonization timeframes are to be met. Despite this need, this study found that capacity expansion rates have actually slowed in recent years. Many factors are responsible for this trend, ranging from permitting delays, to increasing land prices, to supply chain bottlenecks. This report explores trends in the use of Advanced Conductors to increase the capacity of the existing grid. | | | | Grid Strategies Report Supports Collaboration and the Use of Advanced Conductors | Sponsored by WIRES, this is the first comprehensive review of how collaborative planning leads to transmission planning success, and provides policymakers with new insights to drive federal and state transmission policy, as well as a crucial roadmap to removing barriers to collaborative transmission. It also provides insight into the benefits of using Advanced Conductors and other Grid Enhancing Technologies. | | | | CurrENT Europe Publishes Tech Recommendations FOR DSO’s | CurrENT, the voice of innovative grid technologies in Europe, released its first edition of ‘Recommendations for DSO project deployments’ – a first-of-its-kind handbook for the deployment of innovative grid technologies at the DSO level. In this first edition, CurrENT covers some key technologies that can make a difference at the DSO level, including Digital Twin technologies, Advanced Conductors, Dynamic Line Rating, Monitoring Sensors, and Modular Power Flow Control. | | | | Energy Institute at Haas Updates “Accelerating Transmission Expansion by Using Advanced Conductors in Existing Right-of-Way” | First released in November 2023, The Energy Institute at Haas Berkley and Grid Lab paper (updated February 2024) presents tremendous insight into the vast benefits of updating the existing grid using advanced conductors. The paper was also presented in a recorded webinar that provided additional details. | | | | |
