STRENGTHENING AMERICA’S GRID WITH HIGH PERFORMANCE CONDUCTORS
We need a stronger grid to secure American economic prosperity and innovation while meeting the urgent demands of AI and advanced manufacturing.
And we need it now.
The AMP Coalition represents American manufacturers of High Performance Conductors that can be rapidly deployed to double firm transmission capacity and unlock a more affordable, reliable, and safe grid.
POWERING AMERICA’S FUTURE
SPEED TO POWER
HPCs deliver firm transmission capacity in months, not years, helping meet the demands of critical industries like AI and manufacturing.
made in the usa
HPCs companies create high-skilled jobs in American manufacturing and union construction.
SAFE & affordable
HPCs lower electricity bills, mitigate wildfire risk, and make smarter use of the grid infrastructure we already have.
What are High Performance Conductors?
High Performance Conductors (HPCs) are modern electric conductors (i.e., power lines) made from advanced materials. HPCs replace conventional transmission lines and underground cables with stronger, lighter, and higher-capacity cables, taking advantage of carbon-fiber and superconducting materials.
As electricity demand surges from AI data centers, electrification, and new advanced manufacturing, HPCs offer a practical, near-term solution that delivers capacity faster, safer, and more affordably than traditional conductors.
2x-5x power flow on existing lines
~90% faster deployment than building new lines
Up to 15 feet increased ground clearance for wildfire safety, with fully encapsulated lines not affected by ambient conditions
Up to 5x reduction in duct bank dimensions for underground cables
20-80% reduction in power losses
$4-8 billion/year in potential consumer savings when fully deployed nationwide
