VEIR’s mission is to rapidly accelerate the growth in electric transmission capacity necessary for global decarbonization and grid resilience. VEIR is developing the next generation of superconducting electric transmission lines that operate with 5-10x the transfer capacity of conventional lines at a given voltage level, more than any other advanced conductor technology.
Giving everyone in the world access to clean, reliable, affordable energy will require substantial expansion of global electricity transmission networks. VEIR is developing a new generation of High Temperature Superconductor (HTS)-based transmission lines, enabling long distance, reliable, low loss, cost–effective power transfer in far smaller right–of–ways. VEIR’s innovations overcome the main barriers to transmission expansion, enabling the world to access the very lowest cost renewable power.
