- Bangladesh has doubled the transmission capacity of an existing power line using advanced conductor technology, potentially allowing more electricity to be delivered without building new transmission infrastructure, according to a report by US-based Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI).
- It says advanced transmission technologies can increase capacity at a cost of $60,000-$70,000 per megawatt, compared with $300,000-$600,000 per megawatt for building new transmission infrastructure to provide the same capacity.
- Colombia, meanwhile, unlocked more than 300MW of additional capacity on existing power lines through advanced transmission technologies.
