The future of electricity

• As we look towards the future of electricity, it
  is important to understand the current issues
  being faced. Most of the focus has been on the
  improvements of the way electricity is produced,
  but it is also important to look at another issue
  that releases nearly a billion tons of extra
  carbon dioxide into the earths atmosphere every
  year.
• According to a study in August 2019 by
  researchers Sarah Jordaan and Kavita Surana,
  inefficient transmission and distribution
  infrastructure results in a high rate of line
  losses by the time electricity reaches a customer

Line Losses

• According to the U.S. Energy Information
  Administration, electricity transmission and
  distribution (TD) losses are on average about 5
  of the electricity that is transmitted and
  distributed annually in the U.S. The percentage
  of energy lost in developing countries is even
  higher, but developed countries such as the U.S.
  and China produce much more greenhouse gas
  emissions overall. 
• In Jordaan and Suranas study, it is suggested
  that losses reduced to 3.2 in the U.S. can
  result in a decrease of 29 million metric tons
  per year of greenhouse gas emissions. This is the
  equivalent of removing over 6.3 million cars from
  the road.

How ACCC Reduces Line Losses

• ACCC Conductors are helping reduce line losses
  in the U.S. and in over 50 other countries around
  the world. As we help developing countries
  improve infrastructure and generate electricity
  in some areas for the first time, we are
  dedicated to improving existing infrastructure in
  developed countries as well. 
• The ACCC Conductor reduces line losses by up to
  40 compared to conventional conductors of the
  same size and is also the first electric
  transmission conductor to earn an SCS
  certification for CO2 emission reductions resultin
  g from improved energy efficiency.
