A delayed grid connection is testing Essex AI infrastructure plans. The proposed campus requires 50MW initially and is designed to scale toward 90MW.
-
A reusable 400kV cable system will support German substation upgrades. The modular HVAC installation can be disconnected, stored, and redeployed as Amprion reconfigures extra-high-voltage infrastructure.
-
Greenwich has completed bespoke LED upgrades across twelve pedestrian subways. Vandal-resistant luminaires and site-specific mounting arrangements address visibility, glare, environmental spill, energy use, and maintenance.
-
SSEN has secured a long-term framework for Scottish HVDC cables. Sumitomo Electric and Van Oord will begin engineering for the proposed 525kV Shetland 2 link, with manufacturing expected from 2027.
-
E.ON has extended its Aachen energy research partnership through 2031. The €7.5 million programme covers smart grids, storage, low-temperature heat networks, and commercial development of an AI-based substation controller.
-
Q2 advanced Britain’s connections, storage, standards, and transmission programmes further. Renewable growth continued, while fuel-price volatility and inverter controls kept system resilience central to energy engineering.
-
WSCAD’s survey shows electrical design teams under global delivery pressure. The study of 1,267 electrical CAD users points to workforce shortages, project complexity, documentation workload, and growing interest in AI-assisted engineering.
-
Nexans has validated conductor integrity testing on TenneT’s 380kV grid. The CORECHECK field deployment verifies composite-core overhead conductors during transport, installation, and commissioning.
-
ABB and Ørsted are testing AI fault prediction in Denmark. The Avedøre Power Station pilot will use existing electrical system data to detect developing faults earlier.
-
MSSL has linked heatwave resilience to LV switchboard design practice. Rising plant room temperatures are increasing focus on verified assemblies, temperature rise testing, and short-circuit withstand.
