Advanced Conductors
Jason Huang is founder and CEO of TS Conductor, a U.S. manufacturer of next generation advanced conductors that enable utilities to increase capacity while reducing project costs and saving customers money. His career spans senior leadership positions at companies like CTC Global, BAE Systems, Owens Corning, and Solvay, as well as work with prestigious organizations such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and on critical defense aircraft projects.
From reconductoring to new-build transmission projects, by providing more capacity with less CapEx, advanced conductor technology is helping utilities ensure access to affordable and reliable electricity.

But there’s more than short-term value to be had with these solutions: beyond reducing Day One CapEx, advanced conductors also provide additional financial benefits over the project lifetime, helping utilities balance grid modernization with ratepayer affordability. Nationwide adoption of advanced conductor technology could save consumers $2.2 billion annually via line loss reduction alone.
In previous articles, we explored the affordability aspects of advanced conductors in reconductoring and new builds, respectively. To close out the series, this article examines the lifecycle savings and related benefits associated with the latest advanced conductor technology.
Three Lifecycle Benefits
Advanced conductor technology offers a powerful, affordable upgrade for the grid at every stage of its life. Here are three ways utilities can leverage these advanced conductors to deliver long-term value — from efficiency gains to future-proofing and improved resilience.
