The renewable energy transition has a hidden bottleneck: transmission lines that appear “full” on paper but are often carrying far less than they could in real life.
This isn’t a technical flaw — it’s the way our high-voltage grids are rated. Operators use conservative static ratings for safety, assuming worst-case conditions for heat and line sag. The problem? These assumptions often leave massive amounts of latent capacity stranded.
