POWER Engineers upgrades AEP transmission lines without disruption

When Dominion Energy needed the most challenging section of this 500kV transmission line rebuilt, they selected our subsidiary The L.E. Myers Co. to perform the line construction. They overcame limited access to structures, constrained mountaintop sites, and wire pulls across wide valleys. Discover how they provided solutions and delivered results in our new case study: https://lnkd.in/eP28z88F  #MYRGroup #LEMyers #transmissionconstruction #lineconstruction #electricalcontractors #casestudy #500kV 

⚡ #FunFactFriday ⚡ When storms hit, turbines step up. Peaking power plants powered by gas turbines respond first during hurricanes and blackouts, activating rapidly when demand spikes and the grid needs stability most. These unsung heroes keep the lights on when it matters most. Reliable technology for challenging times, that's innovation in action. 🎥 Watch the full clip below to see why gas turbines are built for resilience. #PSM #FunFactFriday #GasTurbines #PowerGeneration #Resilience #EnergyTransition #GridReliability #Innovation #Engineering

The Yorkshire GREEN project has delivered the third of four supergrid transformers to Overton substation, marking a key step in National Grid’s Great Grid Upgrade to modernize the UK’s power network.

Entergy Mississippi has announced its plans to invest $300 million into upgrading its regional grid over the next five years as part of its Superpower Mississippi plan, which would mark a 50% increase over Entergy Mississippi's usual power grid expenditures. The plan's success will be judged on whether it is able to effectively reduce outages by half. This improvement will be accomplished by installing stronger poles, increasing maintenance rights-of-way, and installing smart devices and real-time monitoring systems throughout Entergy Mississippi's grid infrastructure. The plan is still subject to approval by the Mississippi Public Service Commission.

#reshyperboloid10 Spinning in front of Cape Town: https://lnkd.in/dMPX8i5 The turbine's supporting structure comprises a central mast supporting a series of nozzles connected to a rotor. The rotor is formed from a cable net structure that supports variable rotor blades. These blades have pivoting leading and trailing edges connected to a rigid central section supported by the cable net. The rotor itself is divided into windward and leeward halves. The blades are variable, consisting of a rigid central section and pivoting nose and tail sections that are pneumatically or electrically actuated. The diameter of the wind turbine is always sensor-controlled to remain perpendicular to the prevailing wind direction. This ensures that the suction side of the rotor blades faces inwards during windward rotation and outwards during leeward rotation. When lambda exceeds 2, centrifugal forces override the lift generated by the rotor blades. The concave surface of the hyperbolic prestressed cable net is the solution to this problem, which increases in proportion to the lambda factor up to 5. Spoked wheels in the void between the mast and the rotor transfer loads from the leeward side to the windward side. This reduces the lateral force acting on the mast. This design far outperforms any other type of wind turbine in its ability to manage power. #respowerhyb #reshyperboloid10 #reswindpower #resgigatube #resblade #reswindpower #resactuator #offshorewind #windindustry #greenenergy #windenergy #windturbines res-institute.com

A new transmission infrastructure project in Western Australia’s Mid West is advancing planning stages as part of a broader effort to bolster power capacity and enable large-scale renewable energy integration across the northern South West Interconnected System. https://lnkd.in/gpdbftcm #projectory #projectleads #majorprojects #energyinfrastructure #transmission #renewableenergy #cleanenergy #MidWest #WAprojects #Eneabba #WesternPower #CleanEnergyLink #SWIS #decarbonisation #netzero2050 #infrastructuredevelopment #construction2026 #supplychain #localemployment #opportunities

#News for today  SI ADVANCE on 10/16/25 Headline: Power restored to Con Ed customers on Staten Island’s South Shore News summary: "Approximately 1,050 customers were without power in Prince’s Bay Thursday night, according to the Con Edison online outage map. As of just around 9:30 p.m., the map indicated 'more work required' and power in parts of the area was expected to be restored between 10:30-11 p.m." #ConEd #StatenIsland #outage #power #energy #electricity #thepowergirl

With rising electricity demand pressure from large loads, such as data centers, stakeholders are rising to circumvent current processes to propel the grid forward in multiple RTO regions. I have captured two examples – from PJM and SPP – to be helpful to us all as we think on this topic: 1. PJM is proposing another class of generators that can bypass the traditional generator interconnection queue, through an Expedited Interconnection Track (EIT). EIT projects must be greater than 500 megawatts (MW) in size; they can be any fuel type, including storage, but must be sponsored by a PJM state. Among other requirements, EIT projects must be interconnected at a transmission substation in the state that sponsors them. More to be analyzed on this process, and I’m sure stakeholders are weighing in. https://lnkd.in/ev5aSUPZ 2. SPP’s new policy is called High-Impact Large Loads (HILLs), which introduces accelerated study processes, conditional service options, and a coordinated path for evaluating large loads paired with new generation. We are watching this one as well and hoping it will be a good model. https://lnkd.in/ewVSmwdK
