Transmission congestion is extending time to power in the data center ecosystem, but Grid‑Enhancing Technologies (GETs) offer fast, cost‑effective relief without waiting for new transmission.

By combining advanced conductors, dynamic line ratings, and efficient coatings, utilities can unlock substantial hidden capacity through improved thermal performance and real‑time visibility.

Join Charles Holcombe from Southwire to explore how these tools, alongside complementary GETs, can rapidly expand usable grid capacity and accelerate the transition to a more flexible, decarbonized system.
