Our Electrical Grid power distribution lines lack capacity and are, in wire life terms, old and quite literally sagging. Sustainability solutions needs the ability to push more electrons down them particularly if you are at the end of the grids line..
Our centralised power generation and its distribution has, like so many utilities been under invested in, in order to keep the companies main customers, its shareholders served with good dividends.
Other headwinds to upgrades including planning and permitting and a general desire to keep monopoly of pricing means .
However the good news is there is a solution available without building new pylons, that is to change the electrical cables to modern materials technology to double capacity and reduce sag.
And it can be done it in a one to two year timescale , not 10 years plus, (if at all), given permits acquisition time and without the big capital investment neede for new grid routes.
Here´s how it's done in detail from Dave Borlace.
