MIT spinoff's new technology promises to boost power transmission capacity by 10x using superconducting cables and advanced cooling systems.

A new power transmission technology has emerged in Woburn, Massachusetts, promising to redefine energy distribution efficiency without compromising on visual impact.

The development has come amidst pressing global demands to bolster transmission infrastructure for renewable energy integration and grid resilience.VEIR’s innovation relies on superconducting cables and an advanced cooling system. This allows their lines to start carrying up to 400 megawatts of power initially, with plans to handle even more in the future.

This breakthrough is not just about increasing capacity but also about overcoming the regulatory and community opposition that has hinder many transmission projects in the past. Particularly in regions like America and Europe, where new power distribution systems are crucial for integrating renewable energy sources and enhancing grid resilience.The need for expanded transmission capacity is urgent.

“Building high-power transmission infrastructure can take a decade or more, and there’s been quite a few examples of projects that folks have had to abandon because they realize that there’s just so much opposition, or there’s too much complexity to pull it off cost effectively,” heVEIR’s approach not only addresses the technical challenges of increasing power transmission but also aims to streamline the deployment process.
