Power Grid Company of Bangladesh is Helping
Support one of Asia's Fastest growing Economies

• To accommodate continued growth and prepare for
  an amazing future, the Power Grid Company of
  Bangladesh PGCB is working hard to modernize
  their electric power grid which is expected to
  deliver 60 GW of electricity within the next two
  decades. Policy makers in Bangladesh have taken a
  pragmatic decision to push for a robust and
  sustainable future, by selecting climate friendly
  and high capacity ACCC Conductors.
• One of the featured uses of the ACCC Conductor
  is the transmission of power from the Rooppur
  Nuclear Power Plant. We are using this advanced
  conductor on our most critical projects in
  Bangladesh.

Important Policy Update for Electric Power
Utilities in the United States

• The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act
  (the ACT), also referred to as the Bipartisan
  Infrastructure Bill, was recently signed into
  law. Several of the provisions in the ACT opened
  significant opportunities for using
  ACCC Conductor to meet the ACTs objectives. In
  three of the ACTs sections, advanced conductors
  were explicitly called out in the law.

• In Section 40101, Preventing Outages and
  Enhancing the resilience of the Electric Grid,
  Grant recipients can use the money to reconductor
  power lines with low-sag, advanced conductors. 

• In Section 40106, Transmission Facilitation
  Program, the Secretary of Energy is to give
  priority in their loan and facilitation program
  to projects that use technology that enhances
  capacity, efficiency, resilience, or reliability
  of an electric power transmission system
  including reconductoring of an existing electric
  transmission line with advanced conductor. 

• In Section 40107, Deployment of Technologies to
  Enhance Grid Flexibility, the Grant matching
  funds can be used by transmission owners and
  developers to purchase and installation advanced
  transmission technologies such as advanced
  conductors.
