ACCC® Hardware is Key to Safety & Reliability

CTC Global’s ACCC® dead-ends and splices, produced in association with 11 qualified and authorized manufacturing partners, use an innovative stainless steel collet system that grips the core without crushing it or imparting excessive stress that can sever the core when using compression core grip designs. Unlike steel or aluminum that will plastically deform and yield when compressed, composite cores do not.

With well over one million ACCC collet devices deployed to more than 1,000 projects in 60 countries, there has never been a single reported failure. Read more - https://bit.ly/3s4zURk

ACCC® Conductor Installation in Bangladesh

Bangladesh is one of the world’s fastest growing economies having experienced rapid economic growth in recent years mainly driven by exports of readymade garments, tea, leather, and more. In the last decade, Bangladesh has emerged as a key garment exporter and its textile industry accounts for nearly 85% of the nation’s $40 billion in annual exports, employing nearly 4 million people. To upgrade and expand their transmission network, PGCB selected the high-capacity, energy-efficient and highly-proven ACCC® Conductor technology. 

While nearly 40 ACCC® Conductor installations have already been completed in Bangladesh, more than 1,000 ACCC Projects have been completed, worldwide. Read more - https://bit.ly/3IXSVuG Check out this video: https://bit.ly/3GKUHNR

The Role of ACCC® Conductors in Meeting U.S. Decarbonization Goals

One of the Biden Administration’s primary goals is to achieve a 100% carbon-free electricity sector in the U.S. by 2035. While demand for electricity is anticipated to grow by as much as 40% by mid-century to support ‘electric conversion’ in the automotive, industrial and other sectors, the need to build a more robust and efficient electric power grid has never been more urgent.

In the past, increasing the capacity of an existing transmission corridor required shutting the line down, removing the existing wire and structures (often with undesirable environmental consequences), replacing the structures with larger / taller structures with new foundations, and pulling in new larger, higher capacity conductors (called “rebuilding”). This was a very expensive, arduous, and disruptive process that is no longer necessary for many situations. Reconductoring a power line using the existing structures is the fastest, lowest cost way to add substantial capacity to the existing grid. Reconductoring can help rapidly interconnect needed carbon-free generating capacity onto the grid so that the ambitious decarbonization goal of reaching ZERO carbon emission from the electric sector by 2035 has a chance to be met.
