Global Transmission Line Length to Exceed 6 million Ckm by
2025
The electricity transmission market is currently undergoing
a major change with countries in pursuit of better efficiencies and more
suitability for wheeling renewable energy. Several countries are upgrading their
transmission lines to higher volatages in order to reduce transmission
losses.
Technological changes and upgrades are also being made to
make the transmission systems more stable against the intermittent nature of
renewable energy sources. Besides, the advent of net metering for solar homes
and coordinated charging of electric vehicles is pushing utilities to align
their new infrastructure with the possibility of bi-directional flow of
electricity.
